What do you do i.e. school/training/ work? |
I am a Speech Language Therapist (SLT) working for Special Education |
How long have you been on the Youth Committee? |
About 2 weeks! Just starting. |
Why did you join the Youth Committee? |
I'm passionate about young people & seeing them reach their full potential. More recently, I have developed a passion for Wanganui... |
What do you want to see in Wanganui for the young people? |
More opportunities for them to get involved with or feel a part of their local community. |
What do you want to be when you grow up? |
I think I already am grown up! I hope?
Other than being an SLT, a Mummy. |
What are your goals for the future? |
Eventually I'd like to get married & have a few kiddies, go overseas & do a few extreme things like skydive, base jump, go in a hot air balloon. |
What do you want to achieve out of life? |
I have aspirations to live a selfless life as much as possible...I guess I'll find out how to do that as I go. |
Describe your family and what they mean to you. |
My family is pretty close knit, even though we are quite far-spread. I love going home to be with them, they help make me who I am. Also I have several friends who are like family to me. |
Favourite food? |
There's nothing I don't like eating. Love home-made food, chocolate & summer fruit salads. BBQs are awesome. |
Favourite music? |
I like easy listening chill out stuff. And a bit of rock. Favourites at present are Coldplay, Kings of Leon, & Muse. |
What's your 'style'? |
I guess other people decide that to some extent – I can't help their opinions! I don't really associate with any particular 'style' - I'm just me. |
Favourite shop in Wanganui? |
Pak'n'Save! Wins hands down. I'm addicted to shopping there, argh! |
Favourite place to be? |
Probably surrounded by good friends. I love being at the beach. But what makes a place “favourite” is probably determined by who you're with. |
What do you do for fun? |
Hang out with mates, go on road trips, eat out, and drink coffee, chill at the beach in summer. |
Favourite episode of Spongebob and why? |
One where everything gets covered in bubblegum – the only one I can remember! |
Favourite TV Show? |
Breakfast! About the only one I get to watch ha ha. Scrubs, Greys Anatomy and Chuck are up there too. |
Anything else? |
