Describe yourself in 5 words? Driven, confident, analytical, opinionated, caring
If you were an animal, what would you be? A horse. They live the life.

I’m listening to… The Kooks!
The best gift that you have ever received? Horse riding lessons when I was six. Best. Birthday. Ever.

What does a typical day look like for you? Attending lectures and tutorials (or being a fab intern), writing, writing and more writing, drinking just as much coffee, and having some fun in the sun before the day is done. (I’m a writing student. I know how to rhyme.)
Favourite city… other than Brisbane? Melbourne! Although I haven’t ventured too far overseas yet.
3 people you couldn’t live without? Mum, Dad, my brother. Easy. (Sorry best friend, you didn’t make the cut)
Favourite Brisbane coffee spot? The Bunker in Milton. Great coffee, great atmosphere.
Favourite Brisbane restaurant? Satay Hut in South Bank. Their Thai food is excellent.
Place for a drink? The Sangria Bar. I’m slowly working my way through their
cocktail menu.
Biggest Indulgence? Mint slice. I could eat an entire packet.

What’s next for you? Career? Travel? Post-grad? I’ll let you know when I do.

If you were an animal, what would you be? A blue whale. There is no logical explanation for this.

I’m listening to… The soothing voice of The Bachelor, perfectly harmonized with dramatic music. Emotions are high.

What would you request for your last meal on earth? I really want to say something modern and classy, but I would probably just keep frying haloumi with freshly squeezed lemon until the sun goes down.
What does a typical day look like for you? Wake up. Sing in the car to work. Loudly. Arrive at work and pull myself together – it’s too early for an office sing-a-long. Write social media and attempt to replicate Laura’s list-making skills. Reality TV. Sleep.
