Her proactive approach ensures she listens attentively to candidates, understands their career aspirations, and uncovers opportunities that deliver meaningful results.

What I love most about my city is: Brisbane has such incredible foodie options, absolutely spoilt for choice! Favourites have to be Mosconi, SameSame, Sushi Room and Monal! 

If you could relive any moment, what would it be?: Winning a 120km Endurance race across the desert on a notoriously tricky horse called Tom Jones!

If you could attend any high profile event, what would you choose?: Royal Ascot!

The best advice you’ve been given: Hustle beats talent, when talent doesn’t hustle.
