1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
I love travel, new friends and learning about their lives, loves and values. I thrive in any environment where I can promote my charity Ovarian Cancer Australia. The international pageant is a dynamic forum in which to grow emotionally and professionally, sharing and hearing eachother’s stories. There’s nothing like it.
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
When I was pregnant an ultrasound revealed abnormalities in my right ovary. After weeks of testing I was given the all-clear. However, reflecting on my feelings of fear and helplessness has meant achieving a positive future Ovarian Cancer Australia has become the force behind my campaign as their official Ambassador.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
I enjoy boxercise, pilates, horseriding, and the iconic Sydney surf! Chasing after my 3 year old Daughter Sahara has kept me pretty fit, and a conscious effort to ‘use the stairs’ is something I’m implementing whenever I’m shopping or at university. I love hot chillies and will try ANYTHING once.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
Compromise. I take an example from my own experiences; “Sure honey, you can give the three year-old double choc-chip biscuits for afternoon tea, and while I’m at my Pilates class you can ‘mind’ her while she swan dives repetitively off the couch onto the dog’s bed.” Compromise is powerful.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
