1.What’s the funniest place you’ve ever fallen asleep?
One time when staying at a mates house after a party, there were no more blankets, so to keep warm I picked up one of the lounge chairs and placed it on top of me to stay warm.

What is your Fish and Chip shop order?
Half a scoop, one hoki fillet, two crabsticks and a couple slices of bread with real butter.

What are your goals within your role this year?
There are really too many to list here. But the main one, is to make sure shit gets done and to leave a lasting impact for the better on our whare wānannga.

Tomato Sauce in the fridge or pantry?
Both hit, so one bottle in each, but I feel like the fridge is fresher.

You’re a Business Major right? If you could start your own company what would it do and what do you call it?
If I wanted to be serious I would say something along the lines of
“A management consulting firm” but what I would really want is a production company to remake movie and tv show endings that are rubbish.

How many holes are in a straw?
Idk tbh, I will say one.
