Favourite holiday destination and why?
Toronto or anywhere in Italy. Toronto holds sentimental value because it was the first place I travelled to alone (I’d flown before but never on my own so that felt like a real achievement). I love the multiculturalism of the City, the mix of architecture, variety of restaurants etc. I love Italy because I love the language, the culture and could definitely live on pizza, pasta and gelato!

I’m great at washing up!

Who is your hero and why?
My Nan. At the age of 7 she was living in London and stayed there through World War II. It’s perhaps this experience that taught her the resilience that I admire. Despite the countless challenges she has been faced with throughout her lifetime, I’ve never known her not to wear a smile.
