What made you choose rowing?
I went to a taster session where one of the senior women complimented me on my strength and said I would make a great rower. Turns out they said that to everyone as part of their recruitment strategy!
What’s the best thing/worst thing about rowing?
The best is the glorious moment when the boat is going so well it feels like you’re flying. Worst is the time it consumes chasing that feeling.
How many Warwick Calendars have you appeared in?
The 2015 calendar was my third.
What has been the most surprising/scariest/flattering thing about the calendar?
The reaction from our supporters, and how much it means to them. It’s surprising the level of support, and it’s scary because what we’ve done shouldn’t be that special – more people should be doing it.
What other sport do you like watching and/or playing?
I don’t watch that much sport but I used to play rugby, and support Bath rugby. In the recent international England V Wales, Bath players scored 21 out of 21 points!

You can’t beat a good British curry. Chicken Saag or Madras.
Person you would most like to have dinner with?
David Starkey and Mehdi Hassan (Political editor of huffington post).
When you’re not in a boat, what would be your dream mode of transport?
Teleportation.
Where would you most like to go in the world?
If I could go anywhere in the world, it would be bottom of the Pacific Ocean, there has to be something down there..
What’s your pet hate?
People confusing tea towels with dishcloths.

To write a fantasy or sci-fi novel, inspired by my aforementioned visit to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
