"Women should have a greater presence and involvement in motorsport, and I hope to inspire more women to take up the wheel.

"I am the first female to win a national level tarmac rally (2012). My all-female team also won the 2010 Australian Tarmac Championship in the popular Early Modern category (1990-2005) with our second rally car, a 1999 Mitsubishi Evolution VI.

With Claire Ryan and Daniel Lemish in the codriver's seat, we secured the 2012 Australian Targa Championship while driving to third place in Early Modern, second in class, and 17th outright from 260 cars.

"I have teamed up with Mercedes-Benz, Mazda, and Mitsubishi Ralliart in tarmac rally, and competed in motorsport with cars kindly donated by Volkswagen, Renault, HSV, Ford and FPV, Chrysler, and more.

"I have also relinquished the driver's seat if the right opportunity to co-drive presents itself, navigating on dirt at WRC level and at ARC level on tarmac."
