Favourite podcast or book? (and why)

My favourite book is “Where the Crawdads Sing” – it’s about a young girl’s survival after being abandoned by her family and abusive father, it has a good plot twist, murder and love, really good book and movie.

What’s the most unusual talent you have?

While not necessarily an unusual talent, I previously worked as a nail technician and often catered to clients seeking unique and intricate designs. For example, one regular client would request a different theme for each appointment, ranging from individually painted minions on each finger to elaborate Halloween and Christmas-themed nails adorned with extravagant jewels. I thoroughly enjoyed the creativity this role required. Additionally, I have recently begun learning Indonesian, which has been an enjoyable and enriching experience.

If you could have lunch with any fictional character, who would it be and why?

I’d probably choose to have lunch with the cast of the movie “The Breakfast Club.” That film was a favourite of mine growing up, and I’ve seen it countless times!

Is there someone you particularly admire and if so, why?

I greatly admire my husband for his patience and kindness, complemented by his intelligence and wisdom. His ability to maintain perspective and not sweat the small stuff is truly inspirational.

Best advice you’ve ever been given?

Best advice I have been given is to always be true to yourself, stay focused, stay strong, and stay positive. Never give up, if you fall, pick yourself up, fix that crown and try again.
