When I was younger…
If I could give my teenage self one bit of advice, what would it be:
Enjoy the little moments as much as possible. Being a teenager can be so much fun.

Getting to have my mum’s dinner every night. Also getting my drivers licence!
My dream job as a teen was:
Being a TV Presenter.
Best piece of advice I ever received as a teen was:
People won’t remember what you said, but people will always remember how you make them feel. Kindness over everything.
My biggest fashion faux-pas as a teenager was:
A bomber jacket. Or a denim jacket with pins & patches…
My first job was:
Specsavers!
My biggest inspiration was:
Brooke Fraser. I cried when I met her at the 2015 Winery Tour, she is beautiful!
One thing I love about Gen Z is:
