How did you become involved in motorsport? – I started working at exhibitions and car shows about five years ago before progressing into motorsport.

What do you do at Airwaves BMW? – I am one of the Leyland Lovelies grid girls and I am on Rob Collard's car. As well as holding Rob's board on the grid before races I am involved in a lot of PR work and look after guests of team sponsor Leyland Paints.

What's your favourite thing about being involved with Airwaves BMW? – The racing, I'm a proper petrolhead so I love watching the guys in action.

What has been your most memorable moment with the team? – It was my first race with the team at Brands Hatch at the start of the season and both Jonny and Rob won, it was amazing.

Who is your motorsport idol? – Moto GP rider Nicky Hayden. I thought he was outstanding when he won the championship a couple of years ago. Plus he's well fit!

What do you do to relax away from motorsport? – I go to the gym and walk my dogs.

If you were an animal, what would you be? – A pussycat because they are demanding and like to get their own way – a bit like me!

Is a Jaffa Cake a cake or a biscuit? – It's a cake because it goes stale and hard, not soft like a biscuit.
