What would be your “dream job” in life?

My dream job in life would be travelling the world as a restaurateur. My Mother and Grandmother have been sharing the joy of cooking with me since I was a little girl and it’s a passion I truly enjoy. I believe one of the greatest comforts in life comes from savouring good food and I would love to be able to share that experience every day.

List any interesting or unusual jobs you may have had.

One of the most interesting jobs I ever had was working at a restaurant during an International air combat event called Maple Flag. Being the host city for air forces from around the world, during Maple flag, I could serve tables from Germany, France, USA, Turkey and Denmark. Having to get past language barriers was sometimes difficult but experiencing cultures from all over the world was a great experience.

Where is the most interesting place you have been?

The most interesting place I have ever been is the Barracuda Reef off the Mayan coast of Mexico. Being completely weightless 20ft under the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea and interacting with colourful marine life in their natural environment is an experience I will remember forever.

What is your philosophy of/in life?

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.”
