If you could have the power of teleportation right now, where would you go and why?
I think it would have to be Naples. Great food, good weather and incredible history and people. What more could you ask for? -
If you were to arrange an online dinner party who would you add to your guest list? (This could include people you know or people you don’t know).
Good question! I think if I was arranging a dinner party I would invite David Attenborough, Danny Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, though it would be great to catch up with my old uni friends too! -
What is your favourite self-care routine you do when you need a pick me up?
When I need a pick me up I like to find a spot with a good view and read a book. I think it helps to distract myself by learning something new so I enjoy reading about history, mythology and politics. -
What is your most memorable moment at Parliament Hill so far?
My most memorable moment so far would have to be meeting the rest of the team for the first time. Joining a new company via Zoom was a completely new experience for me so it was great to see my new colleagues in person rather than through a screen. -
Who or what has an inspired you over the past year?
I’ve been inspired this year by my brother. He’s a primary school teacher and has worked so hard throughout the challenges of the past year. -
What is your top TV watch recommendation?
My top recommendation would have to be Futurama. I think it gets overlooked because of how popular The Simpsons is but for me, it’s the perfect mix of sci-fi tropes and comedy. -
If you could be an animal, which animal would it be and why?
I would want to be an otter! They always seem very relaxed and they’re really good swimmers too. -
How does it feel to start a new job via Zoom?
It was definitely a bit of a strange experience at first but everyone has been so welcoming and supportive. It’s really helped me to feel like part of the team in only a short amount of time! -
What fictional family would you be a member of?
I think it would be the Goodman family from Friday Night Dinner, I can see a lot of similarities in the family dynamics with my own family. -
If you could pick a new skill in an instant, what would it be?
I would love to be able to play a musical instrument!
