I currently live at home with my Mum and Dad, and my little sister Beth. My older sister is currently living and working in a small country town in England, after completing a semester of uni there.
I graduated from Parkdale Secondary College in 2009 and I'm now currently completing a Bachelor of Social Science (Legal and Dispute Studies), at RMIT University, City campus.
I'm hoping to get accepted into a Work Placement Program with the Australian Federal Police in 2013, whilst completing my final year of uni, which will hopefully lead into a job opportunity in the AFP.
I currently work for Peter Stevens Importers, who import motorbikes and scooters from the UK. They deal Triumph bikes, Hyosung bikes, and Piaggio scooters (Vespas!)
The people I work with are great, and make the monotonous days bareable!
I am an absolute sports and fitness nut! But more to the point, I'm a basketball nut. It's my life, and I dont think I could ever survive without it! I've been playing since I was 8, and I began reffing and coaching at 14. I currently play in 3 seperate teams, coach an under 14s representative side for Waverley Falcons, and I referee 3 times a week. Like I said, it's my life, there's only one day a week that i'm not at a basketball stadium for some reason.
As well as being an absolute basketball nut, I must admit, I am a football fanatic! And by football, I mean AFL of course! I am a huge Richmond supporter, and yes I know, they are rather shocking at the moment (at the moment meaning, for the past decade) but I have supported them since I was 8, and that's not going to chance any time soon!
I am obsessed with the TV shows One Tree Hill, Greys Anatomy, Sex and the City, and The OC, and I'm constantly watching one of them on DVD (as I have the box set of each of them!)
I'm always keen for a good time, and 98% of the time I have a smile on my face! (perfect for Disneyworld!)
I have a massive sweet tooth! And I'm an absolute sucker for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! They are my one and only weakness!
I recently returned home after travelling to the UK (to see my sister, Emma) and spending 3 weeks island hopping around the Greek Islands. It was quite easily the most amazing time of my life, although I'm sure being at Disneyworld for 12 months may just beat that!
Well, this is me!
I can't explain my excitement about being given the opportunity to have the experience of a lifetime, although, it saddens me that I'll be leaving all my friends and family behind (and ill be missing out on most of my friends 21sts!), I'm very much looking forward to meeting all the 2012 Disney cast members and becoming friends with as many of them as possible!
