Welcome Cass and thanks for sharing with us

So, let’s get deep and meaningful straight up

Q – How long have you been in Coolum Surf Life Saving Club and what motivated you to volunteer your time?

I have been a member since 2019. We moved to Australian in 2018 and enrolled our kids into Nipper. Kids loved it and we started to come to the club every day, mostly for the kids’ trainings. The more we came the more we got to know the “club crew” and some amazing people. Kids became obsessed with the ocean and the surf. In no time, we were coming to the club before school, after school, to catch up with friends, for a drink, to hang out, to relax, to work out… and I’m sure if the dorms were still here, we would come to sleep too. So, since it became our second home why don’t I volunteer a few hours to help the community?

Q – Is your experience so far what you thought it would be?

My experience at the club was and still is life changing. It is so hard to move countries and start all over again. At the surf club we meet people like minded who made my family and I feel always so welcome. The community is beautiful and to be able to come here daily is truly a bless. I can’t even imagine our life without it.

 

On a lighter side 

Q – Where did you grow up? (Assuming you’ve grown up)

I’ve grown up in Brazil.

Q – What’s the best job you’ve ever had?

The best job is being a Mum of 3 crazy kids. BEST EVER!

I have always worked with little children and I loved it. When my kids were little, I used to work in a little day care in NZ, where they could come with me to work. It was so special to have them around. Also, in that centre I made friends for life. So, it was all worth it!

Q – Any nicknames?

Cass, Cassi, Cassie…Ca

Q – Any Hobbies?

I love yoga, but please hook me up with a good book, those ones you can’t put down.

Q – Favourite Music/Musician/Band

I listen to all kind of music, no favourites, I just go with the mood. Also, big fan of Silence! Ahh the silence…so good!

Q – Can you cook and what’s your favourite dish to prepare?

I’m a Sourdough lover, could bake breads days and nights. Any dessert sugar, gluten and dairy free fill my cup up too.

Q – Final & Life defining Question…. Pineapple on Pizza, Yes or No??

Yes, please! Bring me all the flavours, sweet & savoury YUM! (Yayy!)
