When I was younger…
If I could give my teenage self one bit of advice, it would be:
You’re not too old to start learning a new skill. Even if people in your class are half your age you’re going to be so much better off starting now, rather than starting in 5 years.
My favourite part of being a teenager was:
There’s so much time to hang out with your friends. I could see my friends everyday at school then hang out with them all afternoon.
My dream job as a teen was:
Being an Olympic runner or swimmer, or being an actor. Glad one of them worked out for me!
Best piece of advice I ever received as a teen was:
If you’re unsure if you should or shouldn’t do something ask yourself; What’s the worst thing that could happen if you did it?
My first job was:
As an actor on a show called Top of the Lake when I was 12. My first part-time job was at St Pierre’s rolling sushi.
My biggest inspiration was:
My dad.
One thing I love about Gen Z is:
How unafraid they are to fight for what they want. To speak up and let people know what they think is right.
