Parkes Phoenix

Our Gal – Katie Monkerud

June 16, 2016 By editor

Katie Monkerud

How long have you lived in Parkes? All my life – I was born and bred in Parkes.

Where do you work? Maintenance Shed.

What do you enjoy most about your work? The variation in my day-to-day duties. Nothing’s ever dull around here, and I work with a great bunch of guys.

What do you do in your free time? I spend most of my free time with my children, and in my actual free time I play soccer.

How do you like your coffee? I don’t drink coffee. I prefer to drink water.

What makes your day? Happy faces!

What is your favourite food? Anything home cooked. I enjoy making new recipes. I also love strawberries.

If you could go anywhere in the world on holiday where would it be? Bora Bora (island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia) – it is just beautiful there. I have always wanted to go there since a friend of mine went there on honeymoon. It will be a relaxation holiday.
