How did you get into bikes?
My mum was into bikes when she was younger, but my love for racing came through my dad. He was a rally driver and I went to many meets around the country, but this eventually transferred onto bikes and I can't get enough of them! 

How long have you worked in the paddock?
I was a grid girl for Fonsi Nieto in 2000 and then didn't really do much more until I became Leon Camier's grid girl in 2002, I've continued to work with him and his various teams right up until now.  

What hobbies do you have?
If I'm not at a race meeting I like to socialise with my friends, go shopping, bowling or to the pictures. I also do modelling in my spare time.

Have you done a lot of modelling?
Most of my modelling has been motorsport related; I've been in Motorcycle Racer and other motorcycle related publications but I now hope to develop this further and do other types of modelling work.

Do you have/ride a bike?
Not yet, but I hope to learn this year. I think I'm going to try some off-road stuff first and then maybe try for my license in the future.  

How well have you settled into the Northpoint Ekerold Honda team?
I really enjoy working with this team, I love the professional image it gives and it has been a great opportunity for me. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season and the possibility of being able to support such a great brand.

Through his involvement I have took an active interest in the sport helping to organise and participate in local road racing and short circuit events.

How long have you worked in the paddock?
I won a competition last season to be grid girl for Ryuichi Kiyonari who rides for HM Plant Honda and through meeting Cal at the British Super Bike rounds I started working for the Northpoint Honda squad.

What hobbies do you have?
If I'm not at British Super Bike rounds I enjoy attending road racing and moto-cross racing at home. I also enjoy socialising with friends and family.

Have you done a lot of modelling?
All the work I have done is within motor sport including international road races such as the North West 200 and also promoting local moto-cross and mini bike racing at home.

No not yet, but I would like try moto-cross. 

How well have you settled into the Northpoint Ekerold Honda team?
This is my first full season with the team and they have given me a great opportunity. The team always make me feel very welcome and have provided Holly and I with the best looking outfits on the grid and it's an honour for me to promote the team and to look after Cal on the grid.
