 with Pakenham Secondary College student and Spirit of Anzac Award winner Anna Whelan.

1. What is something people don’t know about you?
That I completely, unironically, love the song, ‘Never gonna give you up’ by Rick Astley.

2. What was your most memorable moment?
Most recently, meeting actors Michael Rooker and Khary Payton!

3. What would your last meal be?
I mean, you can’t go wrong with a classic chicken parmigiana.

4. What event, past, present or future, would you like to witness?
I would have loved to see mathematician Katherine Johnson working her magic while she was at NASA.

5. What is your favourite television show?
Definitely Brooklyn Nine-Nine! It’s a show about fun, lovable detectives. It’s diverse but doesn’t get enough recognition.

6. What’s your favourite book?
Currently, The Disaster Artist written by Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell. It’s about the making of a terrible film, ‘The Room’. It’s hilarious.

7. Which six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party?
I’d invite Carrie Fisher, Bob Ross, Gordon Ramsey, Andre Braugher, Stan Lee & Pat Morita; the group together would be something to see!

8. What has been your most embarrassing moment?
When I saw Rogue One in the cinema, there was a silent, emotional moment towards the end of the film; it was at that moment when I yawned and hiccuped at the same time. Everyone in the theatre heard and turned my way! I just sunk into the chair.

9. At school I…
At school, I love being a part of band performances as a bassist!

10. What was your first or best concert?
My first and best concert was Green Day, they may have been better live than in studio.
