Newborough Victoria
Q: How would you describe yourself when you were in Primary school Years 4 – 6?
I was such a teachers pet! I absolutely loved school and didn’t understand when people didn’t want to go. I was in to ballet dancing and Lego. The ballet dancing years are long over but the Lego obsession is strong. I am a tragic Star Wars fan. I used to try to hide it but now I’m proud of it. I think what makes me relatable is that I’m not afraid of giving things a go even if I don’t feel confident. I’m not scared of making mistakes because that’s how we grow!

Q: How would you describe yourself when you were in High school?
At high school I was friends with everyone and mostly stayed out of all the teenage drama. I spent 12 months studying at an amazing school in Georgia USA which opened my world up to want to travel and explore, which I have done a lot of since. People tell me they feel like they can be themselves around me which makes me very happy.
