My first job was ... I worked at Weight Watchers and my job was to weigh people and tell them if they'd lost or gained weight that week. I was literally the official Weight Watcher. I was 16 at the time and most people who did my job had gone through the Weight Watchers programme. I just got the job because my sister was a leader. So every so often, one of the members would be like, "What was your weight loss journey?" and I'd be like, "Ahh, I'm just a child and I had McDonald's on the way here."
It taught me … a lot of people skills, I think. I learned that weight loss is a massive deal for people and how to talk delicately about it. It was mostly women in these groups and they were awesome, they always remembered my name and wanted to have a good chat. I also learned that my diet is HORRIBLE, and it definitely made me have far less midnight snacks.
My big break came … when I won a competition to appear on 7 Days before I started comedy. I thought I was going to be on the whole episode but I was just on for one segment. In hindsight, thank goodness that was the case. I would've been terrible at it.
The last job I quit was … I used to do kids' birthday parties, which was a good job for the weekends while I was studying but was so exhausting. I just remember being dressed up as Elsa, trying to navigate to these houses in the middle of nowhere and swearing at my GPS. One time my window was down and a kid in the next car was horrified. It was really fun, but quite often I'd be too tall for the outfits, so Tinkerbell was a little bit more PG13 than she should've been.
The most famous person I've ever met is … probably Steven Adams. I think quite a few New Zealanders have met him. He was at a restaurant next door to where I was having a drink. Someone told me he was there and I just went over. I am so obsessed with him and had a few wines, so it did not go as planned.
