I work hard so my dog can have nice things – that should tell you where my priorities are! My time outside work is equally split between muddy fields (see the earlier dog point) and nice restaurants. Oh and browsing the Liberty beauty section.

Honesty and equity are paramount to me – creating environments where people feel at ease, can be their true selves and celebrate their strengths. I love singing in the shower, spending time with my boys and baking cakes (and eating them).

A priority of mine is to maintain balance; city and countryside, work and leisure, beer and wine. Outside of work I enjoy going to see live music, sports and trying basically any food you’ll put in front of me.

There are two pieces of advice I live by: ‘If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing properly’ and ‘If you want something to happen, make it happen’. Outside of work I love playing dodgeball, going out for drinks with friends and soaking up some culture in art galleries and museums.

Honesty and having ‘me time’ are important to me. In my free time I enjoy playing computer games and pool.

I think it’s imperative to not get too comfortable and like to set myself new challenges whenever I can. Outside of work I’m a runner, I find being out in the open air and nature is good for the soul.

A focal point for me is to always try new things and encourage others to do the same, not being afraid to be bad at something if you’re having fun doing it. Outside of work I love the outdoors – swimming, walking, gardening, and I’m an amateur potter.

Being healthy and happy are the two most important things to me and that I would wish for others. I also love being outdoors and am a keen runner, having recently completed my second marathon.

Before moving into research and consultancy I worked in the museums sector, so you’ll often find me checking out one of London’s many art galleries to see a new exhibition. Over lockdown I honed my cocktail making skills and I can now make a mean Picante.

Life is very full (and full on) with little ones but it’s where I feel most fulfilled. Keeping fit and listening to podcasts help me ‘do me’ plus seeing and making new friends in my new city.

Fun and laughter are very important to me! I like to make sure there’s enough for everyone. I also enjoy whizzing about on my bicycle, exploring places, organising stuff, any sport that doesn’t require any skill, and plagiarising the odd tune.

I’m extremely curious so having the opportunity to learn new things from others is really important to me. I like to go on urban hikes whenever I can to different movie locations in and around San Francisco, as well as seeking out new movies that were filmed here.

Forming genuine, trusting relationships with others is essential to me. A few things I love are socialising, cooking and football – but I’d rather play football than watch it, it’s all in my control then!

My goal is to live life to its fullest and have no regrets, which inspires a natural curiosity and desire to challenge myself. This often takes me on great adventures, the biggest yet is moving from Denmark to the UK. Having recently moved to London, I spend a lot of time exploring the city, visiting exhibitions, trying out new restaurants, and taking part in the pub culture.

I care about all things health and wellness – from life-changing treatments prescribed in specialised medical settings, to natural remedies found in everyday foods and spices. I love yoga, dance, travel, and the feeling of seeing or trying something new for the first time.

I value curiosity above any other characteristic. For example, while I wrote this, sat in a car outside a church hall, waiting to pick up my son from drama club, I saw a man holding a large circuit board. He walked into the carpark, looked round in confusion, and left again. Why? I will never know. My favourite hobby is seeing things like that.

I like to make a difference; drawing on my own experiences to have meaningful conversations about a myriad of topics. Art, food, wine, and sports are passions of mine. And of course my two daughters, whose ever-changing needs and personalities are endlessly exasperating!

Travelling with friends is something I relish. Outside of work, I spend my time watching Liverpool, lifting, and listening to comedy.

What’s important to me is making sure I (and my loved ones) stay healthy and balanced. I love to stay active through running, biking, hiking, swimming, and yoga, as well as connecting with my creativity and the earth through travel, gardening, bee keeping, photography and more.

Social justice and equality are important to me. I am eager to educate myself about issues and where possible support the different causes I feel strongly about. Outside of work, I love sport – both playing and watching. Coming from India, I am very predictably a cricket buff! Besides sport, I like to get my guitar out and strum a few songs.

Embracing and supporting diverse, tolerant and giving communities, and having a keen sense of curiosity are important to me. My passions outside of work include the visual arts (including making my own mixed media pieces), traveling, nature, music of all kinds – from Handel to iLe – and baking.

At the risk of sounding appallingly cheesy, treating people with kindness and fairness is important to me; I cannot stand injustice or cruelty. I love to wander around new cities, as well as read, sit in my garden, support Liverpool FC, drink margaritas and eat Japanese food.
