Occupation:
I am a veterinarian.

Interests: Watching movies, reading, listening to music, running, swimming, horse-riding, rock-climbing, dancing, relaxing at the beach, and playing with my dog. I love playing with my dog because his silly antics never fail to amuse me.

Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
My grandmother. I lived with my grandmother during my childhood and still se her every week. She is always observant of my behaviour and ecnourages me to carry myself well.

What is the most interesting or unique thing that has ever happened to you (aside from winning your title) and/or what is the most interesting thing about you?
While going through the veterinary degree. I had to work on a farm where they bred cattle for meat. Itwas late winter and I had to get up at 6am to do pregnancy tests on some cows. It was freezing. The test method is to put your whole arm up a cow's behind and have a good feel around! Although it was not the most pleasant of jobs, I was keen to get in there for a bit of warmth!

What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
I would own my own veterinary hospital. I want to learn the skills necessary to run a veterinary hospital through continuing education.

Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
My family and I lived with my grandparents together with my uncles, aunties and cousins. The house was always buzzing with chatter and there was always someone around. I am thanful everyday that I had a childhood filled with laughter and love

List any interesting or unsual jobs you may have had.
Performing a Caesarian on a cow, Vaccinating pigs on a pig farm, Dentistry on a horse.

What is your most unusual talent?
I can twitch my ears...independent of each other.
