FUN QS:
If you could hack into any one computer, whose computer would you choose and why?
Well firstly that is illegal, so of course I wouldn’t … But probably the US Secretary of Defence. The safe answer would have been some successful entrepreneur or world leader. But what we all really want to know is if there has really been alien contact or not?!
What fact amazes you every time you think of it?
human behaviours and the chemicals and hormones that affect motivation. It sounds nerdy, and it is! No shame in that.
What might someone not know about you?
See below!
If you had a different career, what would it be?
I actually have a Batchelor’s degree in Marine Biology. 18-year-old me was going to move to some warm coastal country and do conservation and renewable energy science. What they fail to mention when you’re choosing university degrees is how competitive the field is – and to be frank, that it doesn’t pay very well!
Cleopatra lived closer to the release of the first iPhone than she did to the building of the pyramids of Giza.
What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?
Moved to Australia. It was supposed to be for a year and I only stayed for three months, but I met my husband on the boat home so everything happens for a reason!
What is the most important object you own and why?
If anyone doesn’t answer this with their smart phone then they’re lying. But that’s not a fun answer, so… my car. Because if anyone has been to Devon, you’ll know that everything is at least a 30-minute drive away, and the buses aren’t reliable.
Finally, if you were an item of furniture, what would it be and why?
I suppose maybe a bookcase? So, I could hold all that knowledge and fantasy ready to share with whoever needs it. It sounds cheesy but I love the escapism and inspiration that books can offer. Although would I then become obsolete due to the rise of the E-reader?!
What did you think was cool when you were young but isn’t cool now?
Fingerless armwarmers.
I feel my answer to this is pretty generic, but I enjoy sports like running, weightlifting and swimming, and I love reading although don’t feel like I ever have time to do it; so, I’ve started listening to audiobooks in the car to and from work. I have a real struggle with staying focused on projects or tasks, so I’ve been getting really in to productivity podcasts lately, especially ones which are science based and go deep in to www.devonshireliving.co.uk
