THIS week we have a coffee with Hot FM radio announcer Emilie-Jain Palmer.

Name: Emilie-Jain Palmer. Also known as EJ.

Occupation: Hot FM radio announcer.

Years lived in Gladstone: 1.5 years.

What you love about where you live: The people are so friendly and you can't beat our CQ beach weather.

How do you take your favourite drink? Skinny cappuccino, or a glass of bubbly if it's wine o'clock.

On a sunny Saturday afternoon you can find me… Going for a swim at Tannum Sands.

When I was young, my dream was to… Be a theatre actor, but that was until I discovered radio. Getting paid to listen to music and talking is the dream.

I can't remember the last time I… had a pedicure. I seriously need to make that happen soon.

My most memorable pet was/is… My gorgeous cockatiel called Nacho. He mainly wolf whistles, which is super inappropriate.

When I go out in Gladstone you'll find me at… Hog's Breath Café is the place to be. Guzman Y Gomez is also amazing. There's too much to choose from.

My secret talent is… I can make my collarbones pop out. Great party trick.

When I feel like splurging, I… Buy some new Napoleon make-up.

My favourite holiday destination is… Thailand or Airlie Beach.

My iPhone or makeup …is something I can't live without.

Jennifer Anniston …would play me in the movie about my life. We have similar hair.

To keep fit and healthy I… Hit the gym and try to eat healthily.

The best piece of wisdom I've been told is… Everything happens for a reason.
