Part of my role requires me to be assertive, even with my colleagues, so I think this is one of my most challenging aspects.

My 2 favourite destinations were Amalfi which I loved, and Livigno, which brings back treasured memories of my daughter’s first holiday..

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE GENRE OF MUSIC?

I base my music choices on my mood, but most of the time I listen to pop.

Japan.

WHERE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND VISITING WITHIN THE MALTESE ISLANDS?

Every part of Malta is beautiful, but I recommend Wied iż-Żurrieq and Blue Grotto - it brings back wonderful childhood memories.

Dad's speciality fried rabbit

FAVOURITE MALTESE EXPRESSION?

I am going with something that I use quite a lot myself which is "Int bis-serjeta?" which translates to “Are you being serious?”.
