Passions.
aDVENTURER.
Whilst I’m passionate about my career, it’s not all work, no play.
TRAVEL.
I’m very grateful to have travelled across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. I am passionate about exploring and immersing myself in new cultures, meeting interesting and unique people and absorbing the world around me.
ACTIVITY.
Growing up in the country in Australia, my parents exposed us to living life by the river, sea and within the trees. We had a childhood which was spent fishing, camping, swimming in the ocean, learning tools of the trades in the shed with Dad and creative craft with my Mum, who was a teacher.
Moving into my adult life, I’ve found the outdoors to be a place I am deeply connected to and enjoy activities such as running, camping, cycling, hiking, swimming and surfing (just). If it’s moving, I’ll jump aboard.
