Monica Wren
How long have you lived in Forbes and what do you like about living here? I grew up in Forbes, but left when I was 16. I returned when I was 40; and have loved every minute of living back in Forbes. I love the people, the community and especially being around my family and my mother again. It’s a wonderful place to live.
Where do you work and what do you enjoy most about your work? I work for Neighbourhood Central. I organise Community Transport and Social Support for my clients. I love coming to work, meeting people and helping them manage their needs.
What do you do to unwind after work and on weekends? I am the least stressed I’ve ever been – so I don’t need to unwind! But if there is one place that I am truly peaceful, that would be working in my garden with the dogs at my side.
What are you really good at? Painting in a straight line! At the moment I am painting our house so I’ve become really good at cutting in.
If you could have a super power, what would it be? Not sure – maybe the power to help people; but that’s not a super power – we all have that ability.
What is your pet hate? People being rude or nasty.
Tell us about your best holiday ever: Cruising with my husband and two boys to the Pacific Islands. It was our last family holiday before the boys moved out of home. Lots of great memories but I now look forward to future holidays with my wonderful husband as we plan to travel around Australia together.
