How long have you lived in or around Canowindra and what is the best thing about living here? 4.5 years ago we moved here from the Central Coast. We love the strong community values and are also impressed by so many great facilities for everyone.
Where do you work or what do you do currently and what do you enjoy about it? No work anymore, I am enjoying doing mosaics because of the creativity process of the work, doing something with my hands and imagination.
What is your favourite thing to do when you have free time? Going to the markets and festivals around town, having family or friends over, going to the movies and keeping in touch with my family overseas.
What makes you proud? To have the opportunity to help someone in need, just listening or giving a cuddle.
If you could be an animal which one would you choose and why? A tiger as they are independent and strong, determined and persistent, a leader and an amazing creature.
What is your all-time favourite movie, song and/or book, and why? Movie: Schindlers List – hope in mankind. Song: I believe I can fly – so romantic. Book: Anna Karenina – has everything to keep you reading.
What is on your bucket list? Go back to my country Venezuela, Japan, Africa, Greece, Italy and Uluru.
What are you really good at? I would say I’m a good organiser especially a trip, bills, home, my car – I don’t like mess!
