When did you join the RGS? November 2022

What’s the best thing about the RGS? The boys! They are exceptional. We are lucky enough to hear their music practice and performances from our office all the time.

What excites you most about coming into work each day? The team that I am a part of and the Old Building – it is a real privilege to work with such great colleagues in a beautiful setting that is so rich in history.

What’s your life philosophy/motto in life? Work hard every day!

What luxury would you have on a desert island? A bodyboard and/or surfboard.

If you could choose one superhuman ability what would it be? Teleportation – I would love to skip all the travel time and have instant, in person connection to events, friends and family.

Do you have any phobias? Unpopular opinion incoming – I am really afraid of dogs but definitely a fan of sharks and snakes – their strength, stealth and speed fascinates me.

What is your favourite ice-cream flavour? It has to be mint choc chip.

What food will you absolutely not, under any circumstances, eat? Baked beans – hot or cold, on toast or not, there is no amount of money that I would eat these for.
