As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I always wanted to be a fire-fighter but I'm afraid of heights!
What superpower would you have and why?
Invisible, would like to be a fly on the wall at some people's homes!
What piece of advice would you have for aspiring female footballers?
Make the most of every opportunity you are given and play every game as if it is your last.

When I was about six, my older brother was a football fanatic and I started playing in school to try and impress him!
When did you realise you could play at this level?
Still figuring that out!
What are your strengths on the pitch?
I'm not a fancy player, I like to keep the ball and play things simple, and when we haven't got the ball my strengths would be breaking up play and reading the game well. Massive winning mentality!
What are your hobbies outside of football?
Keeping my four-year-old son entertained and happy, it's a full-time hobby!
What's your most memorable moment playing for Chelsea Ladies?
None as of yet, hopefully winning the WSL and reaching the FA Cup Final!

I have been an FA Cup runner-up and also won the Welsh Cup with Cardiff City a couple of times.
