Summary

I'm a female racing driver aiming to make LGBT history at the 24hs of Le Mans, I'm a motivational speaker and ambassador for LGBT charities.

Description

I'm proud to be transgender and I have overcome and huge adversity both in my personal life and career. Motorsport is a male dominated sport, lacking in diversity, and I'm using my platform to create LGBT acceptance and positive change in society. I'm a Sports Champion for Stonewall, Europe's largest & leading LGBT charity (also an ambassador for Athlete Ally & Racing Pride) and I belive in using my visibility to inspire other people to live as their true, authentic selves.

I work as a motivational speaker and have given talks at Microsoft, Google, GSK, Aon, Bosch and ASOS as well as leading universities. I speak about conquering adversity, unlocking performance, and tell my story of how I started from nothing to become a professsional racing driver.

I'm also a keen athlete and enjoying trail running, surfing, snowboarding, all these activities feature in my social media and videos, my lifestyle is geared around performance, healthy living, and mindfullness.
