What do you love most about the job? What drives you?
I love that I am able work with someone to help be the best version of themselves. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a person realise their capabilities.
Three words that describe you the most?
Empathetic, problem solver, resourcefulness.
What keeps you busy outside of work? What things are you learning at the moment? Interests, hobbies, etc.
Family orientated and love spending time with them especially the really little ones!
Gardening, cooking (baking mostly), discovering coffee places, bushwalking.
I love creating with my hands! Recently tried wheelwork pottery and absolutely loved it!
I have a cat named Aurora Northern, she is very naughty, but she is part of our family, and we love her.
How do you play?
Board game nights with family and friends are a must! Nothing like a bit of friendly competition and that extends to the Escape rooms too!
I definitely belt out a few ballads whilst driving and watching a movie that makes me cryโฆโฆwith joy of course!
Baking an apple pie reminds me of my nana sitting me up on her bench slipping me bits of pie dough and sugared appleโฆ. makes my heart sing.
