Can you tell us a bit about your role at Champions?
Well, I'm the receptionist at Champions. I help out with all kinds of admin work as well as making coffees and of course answering the phone! So when you call, there's a big chance you'll be speaking to me!
How would you describe Champion's as a firm?
Full of friendly, hard working and dedicated people who also know how to have a laugh. Everyone is easy to get along with and I've learnt so much already!
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I consider myself to be a bit of a nerd. I love reading and have so many books that I've lost count. I'm also really into my video games (especially Pokemon and Zelda - I never grew out of that!) We have 6 animals as well... I love them to pieces and spend a lot of my spare time with them :)
What is the last book that you have read?
I'm always reading at least one book. The one I'm reading at the moment is The Murder Game by Beverly Barton. It's a really good crime/thriller if you're into the more chilling and maybe slightly disturbing story lines.
What is your favourite movie?
I've seen so many movies that it's hard to pinpoint a favourite... But I've always loved the British version Death at a Funeral. Has me in stitches every time I see it!
Where is your favourite holiday destination?
We used to holiday on the Central Coast every year so that brings back some nice memories. That being said, the holiday that stuck in my mind the most was the first time I went to Queensland and all the theme parks. I would love to go to the Great Barrier Reef too :)
If you were stranded on a deserted island what is the one thing you could not do without?
I know this is more than one but... My animals! They make me crazy but keep me sane too... And I'd hope there was a cheetah cub stuck on the island too - for the cute factor and because I love cats!
