Josie Italia.

Where were you born? I was born in Argentina, South America, and moved to Australia when I was seven years old.

How long have you lived in Shepparton? My parents were farmers and they came out here because of relatives, and we started off in Ardmona, then we moved to Shepparton and then we moved out to Merrigum.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time? I’ve always loved sport. I played tennis, netball and squash in the past.

Are you involved in any local clubs? I am a member of the East Shepparton Bowls Club and I handle all of the social aspects of the club’s events. I was involved in more, but then just before COVID-19 I gave up most of them.

If you could give yourself from 20 years ago advice, what would you say? Honestly, I would tell myself to relax. Just relax.
