The Wildcard entrant, who was relatively unknown at the start of the season, won the impressive floodlit Dubai stop for her fifth success from seven events this campaign which was enough to seal the World Series crown.
She finished her rookie season ahead of Canadian Lysanne Richard and American Cesilie Carlton.
