Student, Bachelor of Planning, James Cook University
Suburb: NorthShore, Burdell.
AKA: I don’t actually have one as my name is relatively short.
I’m renowned for: my sense of humour!
Only a local would know… Juliette’s has the best coffee in town!
My most memorable holiday was… well not really a holiday, but I visited Singapore at the start of this year for a university study tour. While it was a fantastic learning experience, I also really enjoyed exploring the city!
Right now I wish I was… exploring a new city on holiday.
My favourite day is: Monday! I do not suffer from the dreaded ‘Mondayitis’. Monday is the start of a new week and anything is possible.
The biggest influence in my life is: My parents and brother. Their positive influence and unrelentless ambition, has provided me with much support over the years!
The funniest thing that ever happened to me was… nothing specific actually, but my sense of humour is sometimes misinterpreted. Such occasions provide great entertainment for friends and family!
Someone famous I met was: Princess Diana. I was born in Zimbabwe and Princess Diana made a state visit to the country. Myself and my brother had the opportunity to present her with a bouquet of flowers.
My motto is: You can achieve anything when you believe in yourself, and then push yourself to achieve it!
