1. What drew you to CQ, and what do you love most about what you do?
The ethos of the organisation: 'fun therapy', 'laughter is the best medicine', 'positive minds'. It's just amazing what this kind of energy can do!

The best part of the job is playing with puppets and interacting with kids. They have such a spirit of energy and fun about them which is contagious.
