1. What drew you to Camp Quality, and what do you love most about what you do?

Camp Quality inspires everyone who comes into contact with it. The fantastic work it does, the beautiful kids and their families it helps, its brilliant staff and work ethos. When I got the opportunity to join the team, I leapt at it!

What do I love? Every success we have as a Business Team ensures that another child or family living with cancer will experience the joy and companionship of Camp Quality's services. There is no better reward.

2. What have you learnt most about yourself from your involvement with CQ?

That each and every one of us has so much to be grateful for. It is better to focus on the good stuff in your day rather than any of the bad.

3. What signature strengths do you bring to CQ?

  • Industry, diligence and perseverance
  • Creativity, ingenuity and originality
  • Bravery and valour
  • Citizenship, Teamwork and Loyalty
  • Zest, enthusiasm and energy

4. What's a CQ moment you treasure?

There are so many it is hard to pick! I am overwhelmed every day by the generous spirit of our corporate, community and individuals who do so much to support us and our kids and families.

5. What do you love to laugh about?

Bad 'dad jokes'. When I lose my balance in yoga. Funny friends. When I realise how much chocolate I have just eaten. Kids and their unique observations on life. Making someone else laugh. The list goes on - it is great to laugh!

6. What are you optimistic about?

If we believe enough in something, we can achieve anything we want.

In the yogic tradition, this is called a Sankalpa - a Sanskrit word meaning a resolve or determination. It is an affirmation which you make to overcome any weakness affecting your body, performance and life, and to awaken any other strength you may feel is necessary to provide you with internal balance.

If we believe enough, whatever you want to achieve will happen at the right time in your life.

7. What would you say to someone considering joining the 'CQ family'?

Welcome. It would be fantastic to have you here!
