I am a 19 year old female, originally from Trowbridge, Wiltshire. I am currently studying Marketing at Oxford Brookes University. I attended The John Of Gaunt School in Trowbridge, then later moved to Ralph Allen School in Bath to study my A-levels.

I have always been involved with sport, representing my school and Wiltshire regularly for sports such as Hockey and Athletics. I was also part of Trowbridge Ladies rugby team, and represented the South West of England. In addition to this, i have taken part in schemes such as young enterprise, and Duke of Edinburgh.

Oxford Brookes Motor club and the introduction to new friends and new opportunities has primarily got me involved with rallying and I now spend many weekends away from home and university servicing for MWRT, a rally team with two rally cars competing in both the Fiesta ST Championship, and the South West Championship.

This has helped me learn more about the cars, the sport and the people involved.

Introduction
The BTRDA, one of the biggest names in UK motorsport chose me as one of their top ten drivers in the country to compete for a full season of motorsport. The scheme is called BTRDA Drive, and aims to bring new people into the sport by making it more accessible.
I came 2nd overall and left feeling bitterly disappointed. But, determined as ever, saved enough money to fund buying and building myself a rally car.

I chose a Nissan Micra, and recruited the help of engineering friends from university to help me prepare it for the challenges it will face.

The car will compete on Special Stage Rallies- rallies that are both on tarmac and gravel surfaces which tests driver ability with emphasis on the preparation of the car. I’m also competing in the BTRDA Autosolo Newcomers challenge.

Motorsport is a popular, well attended form of socialising and competing, and events are held most weekends all over the country and have large following of supporters and media.
Through the BTRDA and Motorsport news, I have had large media coverage and support, and have been guaranteed much more for the future. Both these very large organisations are extremely influential in the motoring world, and Motorsport news alone has a net circulation of over 21,000 people an issue.
