FITS PO

Give us a little more background about yourself and your life story so far.

I was born in New Zealand and left at the age of 19 to live in Sydney without ever even visiting beforehand. I ended up staying there for 13 happy years! Whilst there, I started modelling and featured in numerous magazines and on TV. I eventually left Sydney to become a flight attendant in Bahrain, the Middle East, which was an amazing experience. I love to travel, so this was an ideal job for me. However, I left Bahrain for Cyprus where I continued to model, work at entertainment events and began entering fitness competitions. I later moved to the U.K. but really missed a nice warm climate so I returned to Australia in 2015. I’m very loyal to my friends and always stay in touch regardless of where we are in the world.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?

I like a bit of spontaneous danger and adventure – I’ve gone diving with Great White sharks in South Africa and have also skydived a few times. I once auditioned for the part of Rachel on TV series Shortland Street — if anyone remembers the show — but just missed out. Also, would you be surprised to know I’ll be 50 next year?

Impressive! What do you think is your best asset?

That’s a really tough one to answer. I do get a lot of compliments on my eyes and legs. I also think my breasts get a bit of notice, haha…
