Marital status? De Facto relationship with Jonathan.

Any children? No kids yet, but I do have a lovely seven years old sister back in Brazil. We both love to dance and do choreographies together. Hobbies/interests: Making things from scratch like candles, soap and chocolate. Also going out with friends and travel with my partner.

Do you play any sport or have any special talents? Not good at any sport, but I do enjoy having a go. I wish I knew how to sing, so does my partner, poor him! Favourite book: The Girl Before, by J P Delaney. Favourite movie: I don’t have a favourite; can I say Netflix! Favourite restaurant/food: I like to go to all you can eat Steak restaurants. Where did you grow up? I was born and raised in Brazil and used to travel a lot as a kid because my dad was a professional Soccer Player. Any pets? No, but would like a dog! Favourite holiday destinations: I’ve been to Brazil, Argentina and Chile with my partner. Visited Morro de Sao Paulo (based in Bahia, Brazil).

Career background: Prior to Kennards I taught water safety to children ages 2-16 whilst also working in hospitality management. Marital status? In a happy relationship with my partner Levi. Any children? No human children but I do have three fur children, a pure white Siberian Husky called Leonardo and two cats; Ralph and Haymish. I also have a five year old turtle called Bunny. Hobbies/interests: Indoor plants and propagating them. I also enjoy spending time with my fur children

and renovating my current home. Do you play any sport or have any special talents? I like being active and just recently competed in the TRL (Touch Rugby League) Australian championships. Favourite book: I don’t read much, the only book I have in my home is a book called The Complete Aussie Backyard and Home Improvement Book. Favourite movie: The Little Rascals. Favourite restaurant/food: Pasta but also sweets, I have a massive sweet tooth. Where did you grow up? I grew up local to Murarrie. I spent most days doing what any kid would do back then, I was outside with my brother and sisters playing. Favourite holiday destinations: I’ve travelled to Austria and China but one place that stands out and that I’d go back to in a heartbeat is New Zealand.
