Honours Won 2010 women's award for most inspirational player on the international tour. "Playing beach volleyball in the Olympics has been a dream of mine for many years. My partner, Lucy Boulton, and I just missed out on the Beijing Olympics.

We attended as spectators for part of the Olympic Ambition programme instead. It was exciting and heartbreaking all at the same time. But London awaits us in 2012. Maybe this is our time to showcase our sport on the grand stage of Horse Guards Parade. The British crowds are incredibly supportive and I can't wait to perform in front of friends and family. I get chills just thinking about it."
