Q and A with Artizan manager Debbie Burgess

What is your greatest achievement?

The greatest achievement is my family, my husband and my kids.

What is your favourite movie?

It has to be Jumanji with The Rock.

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

I actually like Rockhampton.

What did you want to be when you were younger?

I wanted to be a mum. That’s what I wanted to do. Get married and have kids.

What motivates you in the morning?

Life.

What is your favourite place in the Rockhampton region?

I actually like walking down the riverfront, it’s just beautiful down there.

If you could have a superpower what would it be?

Well, there are many superpowers that I do have, so I’m just going to keep them to myself.

Which celebrity guests would you invite to a dinner party?

That is a hard one. I’ve kind of got this thing about The Rock at the moment, I think he’s really funny.

What makes you laugh the most?

Myself.

What’s your favourite way to spend a day off?

Actually just relaxing in the media room with my husband, watching movies and eating popcorn with The Rock as well.
