For starters there’s been her star turn on The Block: Sky High and The Block: Fans vs Faves alongside her twin sister Lysandra. There's also the day to day running of their interiors business, and the launch of their successful hand and body lotion business - al.ive body - during the pandemic which went gangbusters. Somehow, she’s also managed to raise two boys Nate, 9, and Dash, 5, in her hometown of Adelaide.
