Favourite career memory?
Working in Cockle Bay during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the whole thing was a highlight!!

Favourite food?
Anything made with love can become a favourite – you can taste it, that’s why a mum’s cooking is always so good!!!

Dream restaurant to visit?
Can I have 2? That should tell you a lot about me! I would love to visit the French Laundry in the Nappa Valley and Restaurant 58 – it’s in the Eiffel Tower, while staying at the Four Seasons George V Hotel.

If I wasn’t in hospitality I would be…
One of two things, either something crafty and arty like that Martha Stewart kinda thing or a School Teacher.
