Quick Fire Questions:

How do you take your coffee?

‍Oh, that's a hard question. Because this morning I had a skinny latte yesterday I had a cold brew. The day before I had an iced latte. I’ll drink it every way but I'm trying to keep it to one cup a day.

Do you have a favourite place where you've traveled so far?

‍On a cruise off the coast of Nouméa, we made a stop at an uninhabited island in French Polynesia, situated in the Pacific Ocean. It was part of a three-stop itinerary, and this particular island was uninhabited and we spent the day there on the beach.

What's your go-to working from home lunch or snack?

‍I take my laptop and go to Clancy's Fish Shack at City Beach, order a green smoothie and do my emails.
