What is your sporting ambition?
To achieve a top finish at the London 2012 Olympics and to change the image of Beach Volleyball in the UK.
What was your inspiration to take up your sport?
I wanted to compete professionally at a sport and beach volleyball enables me to do so. I love traveling around competing on the World Tour and being competitive every week.
What are your interests outside of sport?
I like to shop, go to the cinema and see friends as much as is possible.
In your mind, what's the most memorable moment of past Olympics/Paralympics?
Kelly Holmes aged 33, winning two gold medals in Athens 2004 Olympics after returning from injury. She kept going and achieved what she set out to do in the end. I also enjoyed watching the opening ceremony.
What three words best describe you?
Ambitious, Balanced, Unique
Who should light the flame for London 2012?
Victoria Pendleton
If you were a character from a film, who would you be and why?
I would be Kate Bosworth in Blue Crush because she works hard for what she wants and it is a motivational film.
