Monitor meets...
Anna Wallace

Where are you from and how long have you lived in Canberra?
I grew up in a tiny town called Stockinbingal (pop. 244), and lived in Cootamundra for the majority of my years, before coming to UC

What do you do at the University?
I study a Bachelor of Communications in Advertising and Marketing and a Bachelor of Laws. I'm also:

• events coordinator on Ressies
• president of the Advertising & Marketing Society (AMS)
• on the UCU member services committee
• radio DJ for Cue FM

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear University of Canberra?
Practical and professional but, most of all, fun!

What is your favourite thing about Canberra?
Canberra is a great compromise between the country and the city. It is a nice, relaxed, chilled-out place to work and study, and the people are friendly.

If you could change anything about Canberra what would it be?
I'd like there to be more music festivals.

What are you: reading / watching / listening to?
- Reading Creative magazine
- Watching Spicks and Specks
- Listening to Is this it? by The Strokes

Name three famous people (alive/dead/fictional) you would like to have
dinner with and where in Canberra you'd take them?
-Fictional     That's a tough one- Gandalf the Grey
-Living          Sir Richard Branson
-Deceased      Leo Burnett
We'd go to The Boat House by the lake for dinner.

What couldn’t you live without and why?
It's sad, but probably my mobile phone. It's my ultimate accessory. I find satisfaction in knowing that if I need to contact somebody or find something out, it's just a phone call, a text message, or a mobile-net click away. I can even watch Sky News on my phone or download the latest music and use it as an MP3 player. I've come a long way from my reliable brick (AKA the Nokia 3310). .

Where did you go on your last holiday?
I spent a week in Sydney over Easter with my family doing touristy things, including a Bridge Climb for my Mum's birthday.

How would you spend your ideal weekend?
At a music festival. There's no place I'd rather be!
