How did you become involved in motorsport? – A couple of years ago I was doing some modelling and then got asked to do British Superbikes as a grid girl. 

What do you do at Airwaves BMW? – Along with Tina I do the pit lane walkabout on race days where we help the drivers hand out items to the fans and sign autographs.  We get our photographs taken a lot!  We also meet and greet sponsors and mingle with the guests of the team's sponsors.  Before each race I hold the name and number board on the grid for Jonny Adam's car. 

What's your favourite thing about being involved with Airwaves BMW? – The people are all very nice and it's great fun.

What has been your most memorable moment with the team? – It's all been so good!

Who is your motorsport idol? – I don't really have a motorsport idol, but I'm a big fan of Dan Carter the New Zealand rugby player.  He's gorgeous.

What do you do to relax away from motorsport? – I have a massage at my mum's spa.  I'm so busy I hardly get the chance though.

If you were an animal, what would you be? – I would be a unicorn.  They're pretty and they can fly.

Is a Jaffa Cake a cake or a biscuit? – A biscuit.  It's got a biscuit base and then a chocolate part.  It's a biscuit shape and size too.
