I don’t eat chocolate.

What do you love about what you do?

Seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter of children.

Who is the best person you’ve worked with?

Danny Wilkins – the best teacher, gentleman and generous soul I ever worked with. I felt honoured to work beside him.

What would your last meal be?

Porridge and chai tea.

What is your most memorable moment?

Watching my best friend compete in the Kona, Hawaii Ironman 2016.

1918 Armistice Day ticker tape parade.

Which three guests, dead or alive, would you invite to dinner?

Turia Pitt (inspirational woman; ultramarathon burn survivor), Gill Hicks (motivational speaker; London bombing survivor) and my late grandmother (beautiful soul and storyteller).

What are you currently listening to, watching or reading?

If you had to compete on MasterChef, what dish would you cook?

I am a shocking cook so competing on MasterChef would be more like a comedy show that a cooking show.

Where is your dream holiday destination?

Anywhere that is warm where a good looking person is passing me a special beverage with an umbrella in it.

Mischievous. My school report card would definitely have said talkative.

Working in a florist (Glen Waverley) with an incredible family named the Hazzeltones.

What are the three most used apps on my phone?

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 6 so I am a phone dinosaur. I have just discovered the joy of Siri. I love to know my running stats using the Garmin app and Spotify is my best friend.

Where do flies go at night?
