Poetry and writing.
What do you love about what you do?
I love the freedom to express myself in creative form.
Who is the best person you’ve worked with?
I have had the pleasure of working with so many wonderful people throughout my life. I am always most impressed by people that try to help others.
What is your most memorable moment?
My first poetry read was the most memorable moment, not for all the right reasons. I had been reading my work on 3WBC but had not read on-stage. I turned up in Hawthorn nervous as a mouse stuck in a cat’s jaws. I then realised that I was getting on the stage directly after Alex Scovron (an award-winning poet / author). I wanted to run out of the room screaming and return home on the train. Yet I managed to keep breathing and read my poetry.
What was your favourite subject in school?
Music
What event past or present would you like to witness?
I’d like to witness the beginning of world peace, in the future. I would also really love to get to meet the person who claims responsibility for this.
What are you currently listening to, watching or reading?
I try to pick a new genre of music each day, yesterday was ’60s Valentine’s Day. Today is shaping up to be a jazz day.
I am reading mostly poetry books to be honest and it’s rare for me to watch TV but I lean towards true crime. I also love Survivor but continually miss it.

Chinese chilli beef with tossed vegetables.

The Maldives, I think this requires no explanation.

Do you consider yourself an extrovert or an introvert?
I find it a really interesting question and believe we are really all both. The important thing being that we are humans and we need each other. Life is about how we interact, not our own inner workings.
What was your first job?
I was a bank teller for the CBA at 17 years old. The training was very scary at that age. I can recall being quite fearful after a near-missed armed robbery.
