What is your favorite animal? However, I’m going to be brave and admit I have a strong aversion towards all domesticated cats. I feel a strong repulsion towards them. I understand people love and adore them, I get that! Having said that I do adore large cats, such as tigers, pumas , lions, leopards, jaguars,…

What snack would you eat right now? Given that it’s just turned 7am, I’d really love to devour a freshly made juice of carrots, watermelon, apple, oranges, pineapple, grapefruit, and mint.

What university or universities have you attended? I attended the University of Sydney. It was a mix of old world charm and inner-city ambience. It’s a highly prized University, however in retrospect many of the lecturers and tutors lived in academia glass-houses. Therefore it felt somewhat contrived at times. It was definitely a privilege to…

What are your biggest challenges? To be completely honest I would have to say “me, myself and I”. I’ve perfected the art of standing in my own shadow and dimming my light. So, as the first day of the new year draws to a close I say “no more! It’s time I realised my true…
