What is your dream?

Who or what have inspired you?

Who's your hero? My family, in particular my sister, constantly inspire me. If I had to choose a single guitarist I would have to say Julian Bream.

Any other special talents? Um… where do I start?! I think I enjoy too many things! I love freediving, reading, dressmaking, cooking – trying to fit everything in is a big challenge!
