Lauren Beattie

I am proud to be born and bred in Western Australia, though my Sicilian roots add a rich cultural feel to my background. Growing up in this vibrant part of the world has given me a strong connection to both the land and the sea, while my heritage has instilled in me a deep appreciation for family and tradition.

One of the most adventurous and transformative things I’ve done was to let go of all my fears and decide to conquer each one without looking back. This journey of self-discovery and courage has shaped me into the person I am today, always ready to embrace new challenges and experiences with an open heart and mind.

If I could have dinner with any three people, dead or alive, my list would be long, but I would have to choose Michelangelo for his artistic genius, Plato for his philosophical insights, and a toss-up between Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, or Kurt Cobain for their groundbreaking contributions to music and culture.

My Favorite holiday is Easter because it holds deep significance for me, both spiritually and culturally. It’s a time for reflection, renewal, and spending cherished moments with loved ones, which I value immensely.

I live by the saying “la dolce vita,” which translates to “the sweet life.” This phrase perfectly captures my approach to living fully and savouring the beauty and joy in everyday moments.

On my days off, you can usually find me at the beach or bushwalking. There’s nothing I love more than soaking up the sun and being outdoors in nature.
