Throughout her life, her love for her family and friends was unwavering.

After primary school, Celeste went on to university, where she studied criminology and psychology, hoping to become a psychologist one day.

She said that she wanted to learn as much about human nature as she could, so she could be better at helping those who needed it most.

For the time being, 23-year-old Celeste worked as a team leader at the Circle Call Center in Melbourne, Australia.

There, she met her boyfriend at the time, Chris Risdale.

The two had only been together a short amount of time before her death, but according to Chris, the time that they did spend together was amazing.

He described that it was just effortless to love Celeste.

They made each other laugh and would stay up late talking on the phone for hours not wanting to hang up so they'd always fall asleep on the phone together.

Chris said that Celeste was just such a positive influence on everyone around her and he knows that if he got to spend more time with her, they would have grown together and she would have made him a better person.

Another man that Celeste worked with at the call center was 36-year-old Louay Nader Sakho, who was originally from Iraq and migrated to Australia with his parents and four siblings in 1992.

He started working at the call center in 2018 as a customer service operator.

However, he was known to be very recluse and introverted, and honestly, he wasn't great at his job.

So by June of 2019, a year after starting, he was fired from his position.

During the year of him working under Celeste, again, Celeste was the team leader,

The two never really interacted much.

They weren't friends.

They weren't close by any means.

But given that Celeste was kind and caring, on the day Loewe was fired, she offered him support and escorted him out to his car, being professional and polite.

But it seems that Loewe totally misread Celeste's kindness, and when she extended a handout to him to wish him the best, he thanked her for her compassion and kindness and kissed her on the cheek.

At that time, she told Loewe that she was not interested in him like that.
