What was the most challenging project or situation you've overcome?
Staying 'alive' during the pandemic!
You finish work today and step outside the office to find a lottery ticket that ends up winning $10 million. What would you do?
Create a charity to help others, invest and start planning some great holidays.
How do you switch off after a day at work?

If you had one wish for the future of your industry, what would it be?
The government would start treating the Care sector seriously and give it the finance and attention it deserves.
