The most exciting and memorable place I have been was Niagra Falls, I was quite amazed with how loud the water is! Q: What one word best describes you?

Unpredictable Q: What is your favourite colour?

There was lots travelling involved which Black I eventually realised wasn’t for me. I knew the owners of the hotel and they offered me a more suitable role. The industry found me! Q: What are the worst things about your job?

Dealing with abusive people isn’t fun! Some have too much to drink which can result in us asking them to leave. It can be become very uncomfortable when it causes disruptions for the other guests.

Q: What did you want to grow up to be?
