What's your greatest strength in sailing?
I am a lot fitter than most of the girls, and work a lot harder. I am the same weight as some of the girls, and not much heavier than the rest, but I work a lot harder in heavy winds. I am willing to put in the hours and make the commitments in order to achieve everything that I am capable of.

What's your greatest weakness in sailing?
I am a natural lake sailor, so I am still learning to sail the waves, although I spent a lot of time with coaches on the issue last summer, and I have improved loads. I am not wonderfully hot in really light winds, but I'm ready to learn!

What's your biggest goal in sailing?
To get some sort of a medal at the international level, whether it's an ISAF or Olympic medal.

What are your other interests away from sailing?
Rowing, netball, athletics, I do a little windsurfing as well.

Have you competed at national/international level in any other sports?
Nope

Have any of your relatives competed at national/international/Olympic level in any other sports?
Nope again
