Tell us that story which you’ve always wanted to tell but have never had the right opportunity…
I once got stung by a huntsman-killing spider wasp because I was trying to help it carry a paralysed huntsman up a wall. It was awesome.

What is one highlight from your time in SUMBA?
Late one Thursday arvo during rehearsal, we decided to march through the USYD quadrangle. We were hesitant as there were about 40 people milling around in the centre of the quad. Our fears were unfounded, they loved the marching band and got behind us, cheering us on as we blasted out YMCA and ‘The Time Is Now’! They demanded an encore, so we turned around for another lap, and the crowd followed us out, cheering and singing along as we marched out through the iconic quadrangle entrance. A very special moment!
(It turned out to be a cohort of medical students who had just finished their final exam!)

What animal most closely resembles you and why?
I used to get giraffe a lot, but I’m not entirely sure why that might be.
What keeps you awake at night?
If you cut the corner off of a piece of paper, it gets another corner. Worse, you end up with another piece with another 3 corners. So, you’ve doubled your number of corners instead. How are we supposed to contain this threat?
What’s your hidden talent?
Getting 8 hours of sleep consistently and still falling asleep on the train.
