When I was little and started earning pocket money, I remember my dad explaining to me that I had to split up my two dollars into the four different sections of my money box. After setting some aside for Charity, Wealth and Savings, I was left with only $1.40 for spending. I was devastated – in that 6-year-old way – and confused as to why I had less than my $2 to use as I liked. Now as an adult I understand what he was teaching me.

I was born in Melbourne, but I was raised overseas. I had the opportunity to live in Singapore, London and Hong Kong. Those places taught me patience, acceptance and understanding – values which I still hold in high regard. My parents, younger siblings and I moved to Perth just before my 10th birthday, and we have been here ever since.

I started working when I was 15 at my local cinema in a customer service role. I really enjoyed that job and the people I met there. So much so, that I stayed for nearly a decade! After graduating Year 12 and some hiccups with university, I started a Certificate II in Auslan in 2018. I enjoyed it so much, that I continued until I had achieved a Diploma of Auslan and a Diploma of Interpreting at the end of 2020. With these qualifications in hand, I started working as a Communication Guide for Deaf and Deaf Blind in 2021 while still working at the cinema.

I’m passionate about customer service, and I’m looking forward to utilising my skills to contribute to an enjoyable experience for our clients. In my free time, I enjoy flexing my creativity with knitting and crochet, and I love to relax with a good book or a podcast.
