ABOUT ME

I refuse to sit still and can't see myself settling any time too soon. I've had the privilege of growing up as part of a super great family in country Australia, of choosing to study Psychology on the beach in Wollongong, of now being able to live in the beautiful, surprising and diverse city of Sydney where I'm studying Speech Pathology, and spending my money on trips to explore the world.
