‘I like to dance, but I don’t have much time to do it, especially when I’m DJing’
How long have you been with Melba?
Too long (laughs). I’ve been with Melba since 1992.
What do you like about Melba?
Melba’s great because they have lots of different programs to join and activities to do. I also really like MCing at Melba events!
What is one of your favourite programs at Melba?
The Dance Fit class! They play music and we get to dance. I also like going to ARROW meetings at the start of every month. It gives people a chance to speak and be heard.
What do you like to do outside of Melba?
I’m a part-time DJ. I mix disco and dance music. My cousin, who’s also a DJ, lends me his equipment sometimes.
What do you like about DJing?
I like music and getting people to dance.
Do you like to dance too?
I do like to dance, but I don’t have much time to do it, especially when I’m DJing because I have to concentrate on my job.
What music do you like?
Any music! But ’40s, ’70s, ’80s and ’90s music are my favourite.
Away from music, what else do you like to do?
Cooking. Every Monday I spend time in the kitchen at Lilydale.
Why do you like cooking?
Because of the food!
What’s your favourite food?
Curried sausages is one of my favourite meals – it’s a family recipe. And burgers!
