Nickname: Jojo, Joey, Joanny

Before I was at Sacred Heart, I worked at Legal Aid in the criminal and family law section helping solicitors with their case work.

I have two girls, Ilia aged 3 and Aria aged 1. We have one dog named Indi. Growing up I have always been surrounded by lots of animals including goats, chickens, rabbits, cats and dogs.

Do you prefer chocolate or hot chips: Tough question but probably chocolate because you can’t always guarantee good hot chips.

My favourite sports team is whoever my family follow so the Canberra Raiders, Oakland Raiders and Juventus.

If I could have a superpower, I think the ability to travel through time would be pretty cool. To go back in time and see generations of family would be amazing as well as travelling to the future to see what would happen if you made a certain choice.

If I could travel to anywhere in the world that I haven’t been to, it would definitely the Maldives, relaxing in an overwater bungalow. I am always surprised how cold winter gets in Canberra even though I’ve lived here most of my life.

My favourite funny quote from a student is: “Ms Filardo do you know that eating your own snot is good for you?” Apparently it has lots of health benefits. My kids endorse this, I am still to be convinced.

You may not know that I used to play Gridiron and currently play Broomball (the best sport ever) and am very competitive!
