My fondest childhood memory

New ones pop into my head everyday but I remember being at Ballarat on my Dad’s shoulders one Easter as he, Mum and I had gone camping. Easter Bunny was riding down the street in a car throwing out Easter eggs. I thought I had died and gone to heaven!

My parents always told me

That whatever path I chose in life they would always be proud of me

When I was a child I always wanted to be

A doctor and Kylie Minogue

The thing most people wouldn’t guess about me

I would watch a game of AFL over an episode of Gray’s Anatomy any day

My favourite Intrinsic item:

The key rings!

If I wasn't me...

I would be a bongo player touring the world and shaking my bon-bon

Hobbies

All the cliché ones – movies, shopping, travelling, dancing ooo and cooking, definitely cooking! Oh and festivals, I’m really into festivals at the moment! Oh and I love to get all dressed up and go to the races!

My first paid job

Waitressing on a cruise boat on West Lakes in SA

If I had a super power

I would make everyone enjoy their job as much as me so it was easier to get up on a Monday morning

Rocking on my iPod is

The Presets, Basement Jaxx and Coldplay

On my last holiday I went to

Margaret River, WA

My dream holiday destination is

New York, London and Paris

I couldn’t live without

The 3 F’s. Fruchocs, Friends and Family (in no particular order)

I'm most proud of

My relationship with my parents and the fact that I have survived (and enjoyed) my first year in Sydney

Three words that best describe me

Tall, positive, Footy-lover

I was out of my comfort zone when

I moved out of home to a new state, finished uni and started my first full time job all in one month.

My stripper name is (first pet name plus first street name)

Dorothy Madeira

Famous people i've met

Silverchair

Savoury or sweet?

Well savoury today because last night I ate the whole stash of Fruchocs I bought from Adelaide because you can’t get them in Sydney

I got in the worst trouble when

I got caught wagging school for the first and only time with a high school boyfriend

Things I haven't told my mother

I’ve washed colours with whites!

The animal i'm most like

A giraffe

My dream home

Overlooking Brighton beach in Adelaide/ Sydney Harbour or Central Park, NYC

If I won a million dollars...

I would buy an apartment in Sydney for my parents to retire in.

I am obsessed with

Buying homewares. I like vases!

My most foolish decision

Not continuing violin lessons

My best decision

Taking a risk and moving to Sydney

I often wonder

What would happen if mobile phones were taken away for one whole day

Three people I’d like to have dinner with

Andrew Denton, Chris Martin and Kylie Minogue (nothing’s changed!)

The last time I stayed up all night

A visit to Adelaide over Christmas, had the best night dancing with all my old school friends.

My most cherished possession

’Tebby’ my teddy bear

My best advice

Don’t be afraid to push your boundaries and do things that give you butterflies in your stomach, you learn so much from pushing yourself
