Pets: As a family, we have brother and sister cats called Mimi and Simba, and 6 hens. The only pet I own myself though is a Nepenthes pitcher plant
Hobbies: I love going to museums and art galleries. I love learning different languages and cultures, travelling, reading poetry, dancing, birding, playing all kinds of chess, making tea, hiking and being out in nature. I train in a Japanese martial art called Aikido at least twice a week. Music and dance also holds a special place in my heart – I was trained in Ballroom, Latin, Salsa, Argentine Tango, Swing, Ballet, Jazz, Hip hop & Urban as a university student!
AFL Footy team: I follow the Men & Women’s World Cup and the Olympics more. Open to learning more about the different teams though!
Favourite Food: Anything that isn’t too overtly salty, sweet, creamy, or spicy I will eat and love. I love my fruity mocktails, mango-avocado-salmon salad, onigiri, sushi, noodles, milk tea with either Scottish Breakfast, Singaporean Breakfast or Rooiboos Tea, and all things matcha, hojicha, genmaicha, red bean, pistachio, taro and black sesame. e
