Unlike many people in the sport, I don’t have any family background in rallying or any kind of motor sport for that matter! Despite this I have grown up always having a passion for cars and from this I developed a keen interest in rallying.

My first real taster of rallying was at a one day rally driving course at Silverstone Rally School where I was taught the basics of hand-brake turns and powerslides etc. I came away from that day with an adrenalin rush like I’d never felt before….and that feeling never seemed to go away! From there I made it my aim to get involved in the sport properly as I really felt it had got into my blood!

In 2006 I won the Silverstone Rally School Lady Quest scholarship which had a prize of a year’s rallying – fully sponsored! Through the scholarship I competed in an MG ZR in national level forest stage rallies all over the UK and achieved several class wins!

Since completing the scholarship I have continued competing in rallying, this time in my VW Polo rally car which is a fantastic little rally car and I am very grateful to my team for all their extremely hard work and support! We plan to compete in a full British National Rally Championship next season.

Outside rallying I work as a PA in a London Investment Bank. I studied music at university and so in my spare time (when I’m not rallying of course!) I am also a soprano soloist and play the bassoon in a trio called Trillium, performing at concerts and weddings.

Becoming involved in rallying is the best thing I could ever have done, I have met so many great people within the sport, got involved in all sorts of exciting things, for example charity calendars like Gravel Girls which we did for the Wales Air Ambulance, and Pacenotes and Pearls for the Richard Burns Foundation…I’m having the time of my life - I hope it never ends!!
