She began competing at ten before an accident in 1991.[1] She was hurt during a holiday motorcycle trip on the island of Kos leaving her partially paralysed. She has since become an expert in social insurance.[2]

She has won several medals at the 2004 Summer Paralympics and the 2008 Summer Paralympics.[3]
