Tell us a fun fact about yourself!
I like to bake as much as like to eat baked foods!
What are you most passionate about?
I am very passionate about making the most of the time, as I find myself very time poor. If you don’t do it this year, you will be another year older when you do.
What do you love about parkrun?
Parkrun is a great community event that brings together all different people every Saturday morning. For some it is a ritual and others just a good time to have a social catch up. There is a lot to love about parkrun!
What would your last meal be?
I like a lot of different cuisines, but I am a big fan of staple foods. A simple crumbed chicken fillet with mash and vegetables with a mustard mayo sauce ticks all the boxes for me.
What was your most memorable moment?
I have a lot of memorable moments, but the last 10km of the Gold Coast marathon this year was pretty special and I got to share it with a good friend as we both powered through to the end!
What was your favourite subject in school?
I didn’t really have any favorites. Maybe PE, as the mechanics of the human body has always interested me. I enjoyed the social aspect of school. I had a lot of good friends at school and still close to quite a few of them!
What event past or present would you like to witness?
A past event would have to be the Berlin Wall being torn down. Walls are used to hold up a roof, not separate a country. In the present, there is nothing more pleasing than witnessing people disembark a plane and into the arms of loved ones at the arrivals gate. It gets me every time.
Which six dinner guests, dead or alive, would you invite to dinner?
Tom Hafey (motivational and inspirational), Scotty James (stories of snowboarding, traveling and making TikToks), Jess Trengrove (to talk all things running and running shoes in particular), Chris Hemsworth , Ryan Reynolds (for added humor), Uncle Roger (he would let me know if the egg fried rice is any good).
What are you currently listening to/watching or reading?
Just finished watching Ozarks. Gripping drama and well written. Not one for the kids.
How would you describe your fashion sense?
Pre-Covid it was crisp and sharp. Now casual, functional and lots of activewear.
Have you had a pet that has made an impact on your life?
My current dog Tammy (Siberian Husky) has made a big impact on my life. She has spent the last two years with me working from home, and follows me wherever I go. She is 13 now and can’t run like she used to, but she has been the best dog ever.
If you had to compete on MasterChef, what dish would you cook?
Spaghetti Bolognese. It is a simple yet understated dish. Great for carb loading as well!
Where is your dream holiday destination?
The Maldives is on the list, and hopefully I get there before the sea levels rise too much… Clear warm water, snorkeling, diving and surfing. Perfect!
What were you like as a kid?
I suppose you would have to ask my mum this question. She would probably have a different answer. I think I was quite good!
What is your favourite colour and why?
Purple. Not sure why, but I have always liked the different tones of purple. It is a regal color.
Do you consider yourself an extrovert or an introvert?
An extrovert. I love being around people and love being part of the action!
What’s one question you have never been able to get the answer to?
This question…
