“"Look no further, because I’m the person who can get the job done! I’m at my best when using my hands to fix or build things, it comes naturally to me and I enjoy it! I’m a practical person and I can’t imagine myself sitting at a desk and staring at a screen all day. Getting down and dirty, whether it’s maintenance, building a house or installing a pipe, is my kind of thing – I didn’t choose the tradie life, the tradie life chose me! Funnel-web spiders are experts at building and constructing things, they've got it sorted out."”

“If you wanted a group holiday organised, a project manager for group assignments or help with party planning – I am that person! I live by schedules, to do-lists and structure so that every detail, even the smallest, is addressed. You can call me the ‘behind-the-scenes’ person. I'm the oil in the machine, making sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Some people find administration boring but I love it and excel at making things happen! Honey bees love details and get things done, which I think is pretty cool.”
