How would your best friend describe you?
Talkative, stubborn, friendly, amusing

Winning (unfortunately, I am annoyingly competitive)

Name five dream companions to be with on a desert island?
The Body Coach (to keep me fit), Ryan Gosling (to look at and to dance with), Kevin Bridges (to entertain me), Karl Pilkington (to educate me) and Busy Philipps (for some girl chat).
What's your most 'actuarial' habit?
My obsession with every kind of puzzle, and maintaining several spreadsheets that document my life.
Favourite Excel function?
RAND - who doesn't love a random number?!.
How do you relax away from the office?
Prosecco, pizza and a 1,000-piece jigsaw!
What is the funniest thing that has happened to you recently?
We had a bake-off at work last year and I practised so hard making my peanut butter blondies the whole weekend prior to the competition with my Mum, but still came last and got the wooden spoon!
Alternative career choice?
I've been in some plays and in a film (The Inbetweeners), so I'd definitely be a big-time actress if the actuarial profession hadn't grabbed me away from the limelight!
What song best describes your work ethic?
She Works Hard For The Money - Donna Summer
Greatest risk you have ever taken?
On holiday in Cuba recently I rode a horse called Pepe, against my better judgment. Pepe got excited and galloped away extremely fast and wouldn't stop. Scary.
If you could go back in history, who would you meet?
I'd love to go back in time and meet Elvis (in his hey day!) - he was one of a kind and it would be great to spend the day finding out exactly who he was and what drove him. I'd also love for him to sing to me!
Who would play you in a movie about your life?
Whoopi Goldberg - she would capture my spirit perfectly! I love her in Sister Act.
If you could be anyone else, who would it be?
I'm quite happy being myself but if I had to choose, it would be Michelle Obama - I love her passion and drive. She seems like a great laugh and is a genuine role model. She's also got great arms, so I think she must lead a very healthy lifestyle!
