What are you enjoying doing at the moment?

If you were a super-heroine, what powers would you like to have?
I would use my super power to help all the women around the world to access free, safe and legal abortions and all young people to have access and services to sexual and reproductive health rights. Also, I wouldn’t mind using magic to conjure up different food whenever I feel like it.

My friends think I am patient and fun to hang out with.
If you could give one piece of advice to someone new to Australian culture, what would it be?
