I'm seventeen, my mum Arlene, my big sister Carlene and my dad Peter.

I was diagnosed at birth and I always sort of knew I had Turner's Syndrome. My mum always spoke about it when I was around and when I was playing with my dolls she always used to say that not everybody can have children because some people have to adopt, so I always sort of knew.

I like school and my gymnastics and looking after children.

I went to school and we were doing gymnastics in P.E. and my P.E. teacher then, told mum that I had a flair for it, for gymnastics, and that there was a special Olympics trials for the gymnastics team. And I had been ill through that entire summer, I'd been in hospital for three weeks and my mum said, "do you think she'll be strong enough", and my P.E. teacher said, "yes of course she will". So we went along in the October and I did the trials and to everybody's surprise I got in and I trained for a year and then I competed in the Portsmouth Special Olympics and won a silver medal, so that's how I got started.

Through special Olympics, I went in 1999 to the World Games in North Carolina and I won five gold medals and I have been to a few different British competitions as well and won various medals there. Two years ago I was in Belfast for the first ever open International for people with disabilities and I won a silver medal there for individual and a gold for the team event. That was two years ago and last year I won silver individual again and then in November I became the British senior champion.

I like working with children as well, and I help my mum with looking after some of the kids at different open days and that.

I'm not very good at being patient. I like everything to happen quickly. I'm not really sure.
