Melbourne, Australia

Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia I always knew I wanted to travel. At the age
of 21 I finishing my Diploma in Tourism Management, and got my dream job as a
Flight Attendant and moved to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

For four years I travelled the world, from New York to Christchurch to Zurich, to
Accra to Beijing, to Sydney to Paris. It was a dream come true.

Being a flight attendant isn't as glamorous as it seems. Working all night, minimum rest, cleaning up things you don't even want to think about. Also a lot of passengers are just plain rude, like they packed away their manners with their socks and underwear. When people would scream at me, i would tell my self "its not me its the uniform".

After 4 years of flying, i had my quarter life crisis. I felt as if I got everything too soon. I had my dream job, and now I'm bored. NOW WHAT? I was lucky enough to get an opportunity in Administration (receptionist) in an Management
Consulting firm in Dubai. From there I worked my way up to where I am now. in 2010 for personal reasons i transferred to the Melbourne Office. I am now the Executive assistant to the General Manager of Australia.

I have just started a job in a renewable energy company (wind farms, hydros, solar) and the majority of those working here are fit, and conscious of the environment. A lot of people ride their bikes to work, most go on runs or go to gym on their lunch breaks, its a real good environment. Their good habits are
rubbing off on me. I have decided to get fit, and have registered for a theNissan Corporate Triathlon National Series 2013, in February.

This is the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I'm excited.
