Big cities or rural adventures?

This is tricky! I grew up in a small town in QLD, so I’ve had my fair share of rural adventures. But there’s something about the buzz of big cities that I love to explore.

If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be?

My superpower would be flying. Think of all the traffic you could avoid!

If you could travel back and witness any historical event, what would it be and why?

It would be the Western Australian Emu War in 1932. I’ve got to know how on earth the Emus won! Hahaha.

Is there anything you do regularly to promote mental and physical well-being?

Spending time with loved ones and being creative, as well as going to the gym and enjoying a nice walk.

What’s your go-to karaoke song?

It’s got to be Crocodile Rock by Elton John.

Would you rather be able to speak every language or play every instrument?

I would love to be able to play every instrument! You could even count playing music as speaking another language.

What are you enjoying most about your role at ENPS?

I am most enjoying the welcome I’ve had from my class and community.
