In addition to your bio, choose just two questions from the following list, and provide a brief response to each:
What’s the coolest thing about your job?
The coolest thing about my job is being able to work cross culturally with wonderful people from varied backgrounds and educations. This makes a finance job as about as exciting as it can get!
What’s your favorite thing to do on weekends?
On the weekend I love to relax in the morning, with coffee in bed with my beautiful cat, followed by a run or a swim, go out for a lovely meal with great company, and if my Australian Football League team Stkilda Saints are playing, I’d love to go to a game, and hopefully watch them win of course, otherwise it’s not so much my favorite thing to do!
