"This means taking photos whenever I get a chance to and I have recently done family and christening photos for a friend," she said. "I am looking to expand on my experience and hopefully one day I will be able to do weddings.

"Another of my hobbies is netball which I play in both Rockhampton and Yeppoon. Netball season is over however I played in A-grade competition in Rockhampton for Colts which put in a team for the first time this year."
