Tell us a fun fact about yourself!
I still think like a kid and love playing games with my grandchildren. I certainly don’t see myself as old.

My faith in God and social justice. I don’t always attend church but my aim is to live out my Christian values.
What do you love about what you do?
I love to feel that I can help in any way possible, those people I meet who are struggling financially, socially or emotionally.
Who is the best person you’ve worked with?
One of the fellow workers at Transit who shares my passion for helping the underprivileged.
What is your most memorable moments?
Winning my badminton final, driving through the wildflowers around Kalbarri in Western Australia and snorkelling over the coral of the Barrier Reef.

Chocolate.
What was your favourite subject in school?
Maths by a long way.
What event past or present would you like to witness?
The basketball team I coached winning their grand final.
What are you currently watching?
The Australian Open.
Have you had a pet that has made an impact on your life?
We have a Jack Russell dog which was stolen from us as a three month old pup. We got him back 11 months later broken, traumatised and extremely timid. He has never got over what happened to him while he was gone. He is just so gentle, faithful and loving and he means the world to us.
If you had to compete on MasterChef, what dish would you cook?
My faithful ‘non-fail’ sweet and sour chicken with rice which my grandchildren tell me is perfect (they then tell me I’m the best cook, but I know otherwise).
Where is your dream holiday destination?
Right in the middle of outback Australia, right away from civilisation.
What were you like as a kid?
Quiet and very compliant when I had to be but every now and then the ‘black sheep of the family’.
What is your favourite colour and why?
Light aqua because for me, it is the most beautiful colour in all the world. If it was in fashion, I would be buying more clothes.
Do you consider yourself an extrovert or an introvert?
An introvert by nature and I love solace. However I am middle of the road, thoughtful and compassionate and would stand up for what I’m passionate about.
