How would you describe yourself?
I am creative, outgoing, and enjoy seeing the world.
What is something that not many people would know about you?
I have an obsession with really fat cats, and picking them up.
Do you have any guilty pleasures?
Eating chocolate… although I don’t often feel guilty about that. Chasing pigeons!
Have you ever received any random acts of kindness?
Downtown last year a really sweet old man gave me a Christmas card that he had made! Receiving a handmade card from someone you don’t know is pretty special.
If you could meet someone, living or dead, who would it be and what would you do?
I’d like to meet Michael Jackson and dance with him.
What would you like your grandchildren to remember you for?
My crazy blue or purple grandma hair!
What kind of food really disgusts you?
Olives.
How would you spend $1 million?
I might be able to buy a house in Victoria with that. I would not spend it on the Olympics.
What has had the biggest impact on who you are today?
Good role models, like my friends and family.
What is your favourite song?
“Thriller” by Michael Jackson.
Do you have any advice for readers?
Always be a critical thinker.
What are your ambitions?
To have an exciting and happy life, and to create positive change. I would also love to go to Greece one day.
