1. What drew you to CQ, and what do you love most about it?
I was drawn to Camp Quality through many things. I really like what CQ stand for and that's laughter. CQ is a great organisation and I felt that I wanted to get involved to learn more about it as I feel I have something to offer as I was sick as a kid and in and out of hospitals. What I love most is that there are no limits when it comes to laughter and Camp Quality is all about having fun as well as being a professional outfit.

2. Why do you think 'Laughter is the best medicine'?
Laughter is the best medicine simply because there is nothing else that gives you a HIGH as much as laughing. When you laugh all your problems seem to disappear and you feel free as a bird. You are always left with a good feeling after having a really good chuckle.

3. What do you do for 'fun therapy'?
Fun therapy for me is lots of things. I have fun when I go out to dinner with mates and have a laugh. When I see my family and catch up on all the old times. Being outdoors whether it be at the beach or backyard being outside in the sun is always a way of fun therapy. Most of all playing football is what I love and that brings a lot of fun to my life.

5. What do you love to laugh about?
I'm the worst, I will laugh at anything. Sometimes I just can't control myself. I think I have a good sense of humour so I find lots of things extremely funny. It's the best way to be I think. I love jokes and funny stories - anything that has a funny spin on it will make me laugh. So if you have a bad joke try it out on me and I'll more than likely laugh at it!

6. What do you hope to bring to CQ?
To bring a fresh face to Camp Quality. I aim to be of value as much as I can. I look forward to sharing my experiences and helping kids have a laugh, to put a big smile on their face and just to have a lot of fun.
