A bit about me, I was born in Lima, Peru. Been living in Australia since 1994 and was diagnosed in 2016. I enjoy photography, collecting beach glass, reading, listening to musicespecially Nick Cave and The Poguesreading and photography. My Instagram is pukasonqothat is a “q” and not a “g”.


I have two adult children and live with my partner, Carl, and two cats in Sydney. In my previous incarnations, I have been a graphic designer, photographer and barmaid, sales assistant, mature-age student and Spanish interpreter in Australia.


I completed a degree in nursing, which eventually led me to my current job, which is challenging and rewarding at the same time. Best of all, it keeps my mind active and makes me feel useful and productive.


Apart from photographysee the pictures attachedI enjoy music very much. I have two songs I call my MS songs, Chumbawamba’s “I get knocked down” and Blur’s “Song No 2”. Please don’t start me talking about Nick Cave because it is likely I won’t stop.
