How did you get in to PR?
I decided to get in to PR as my dad and my older sister are both in the communications industry. Whilst they are both in advertising, I decided to veer off in my own direction. I followed my sisters footsteps and went to Charles Sturt University in Bathurst and got a degree in Communications majoring in Public Relations.

What do you love most about the job?
I really enjoy seeing the clients name in the media (for all the good reasons of course). It is our job to get the client talked about, and there is nothing more satisfying then seeing them in the newspaper, a magazine or on TV.

Who do you think desperately needs PR, and why?
I think that the NRL needs PR. Whilst I enjoy watching the game, the players just cant seem to do anything right this year and it is bringing the game down.

What do you have in your desk drawer?
I have about $30 in silver coins which I cant seem to use, some pens and my business cards.

What do you do when you're not working?
You could probably find me hanging out with my friends or doing a bit of exercise.

What’s the best thing about Winter?
The best thing about Winter is the mornings when the sun is shining but its cold. I think I am the only person I know that enjoys these cold mornings.

If you were a superhero, what would your super power be?
I would like to fly. This would also help in dodging Sydney traffic.
