Circle Bio
Hi guys, better late than never 😂 I’m currently changing from one crazy ass career to something a little bit more forgiving. I love the outdoors, especially wild camping, and as you can see I love my food. Go easy on me please 🙂

“I saw a TV ad to join the military and thought… well this will piss my mum off”

Motivation for entering The Circle: I like the message that I’m portraying, that all is not what you see with the gender roles in the military. It would be nice to say that a female in armed forces can still retain her femininity as well as being a successful solider. I think the more powerful meaning behind it is that, I can do exactly the same as what any man can do, but because of my gender it’s not always been seen as the case.

The army has changed their rules and are now letting women join the infantry, but when you’re a female, people tend look at you and think you’re not physically as capable as a guy. It would be nice to have a positive influence, especially on a younger audience.

Strategy: I’ve taken in 300 questions to ask someone to really get to know them and I’m going to keep probing people. If they’re tripping up and saying the wrong thing, I’ll remember it. I have got a really good memory as well. I’ve got brain training games so I’m going all psychological on this. In my day-to-day life I’ve had a lot of experience figuring people out from working in the military, I’m constantly on high alert. I’m a really quick judge of character.

I’ve created the perfect man. He’s every childhood boy’s dream, he’s an action hero, he’s good looking, I think he’s got it all. He’s got the females on side because he’s going to be charming and sweet and he’s got my softness behind his character. He’s the ideal soldier guy so he’s respected in society and he’s got a job that everyone admires and loves. I just don’t know how I could go wrong. I mean I probably might, but he seems like the ideal guy!
