What is your favourite dining-out restaurant?

At the moment I am a bit taken with Chakra in Inglewood.

What is your favourite film?

Dirty Dancing, through and through.

What would you sing at a karaoke night?

I Wanna Dance with Somebody but, believe me, I cannot sing!

Dinner party guest, living or passed, who would it be and what would you ask them? Claude Monet, as I would adore being in the presence of an inspiring artist and the time in history.

What was the first thing you bought with your own money?

A fan – unusual I know.

What advice would you give your younger self?

Never be afraid to make mistakes and make the most of every moment with those who are no longer with us

What are you most proud of?

My loved ones and my relationships that I have with them.

What is the best thing about your job?

The sense of purpose that comes from working in aged care is really heartwarming. Having the ability to help make a positive difference to someone’s day and hopefully their quality of life, is key in my love of the job.

Our Care with Purpose approach is making a real difference in people’s lives in their own homes and in residential care, read more here or watch the video!
