What is your title?
IT Intern

What are your studying?
Mechanical Engineering
What does a typical day involve?
Building this website and maintaining hardware. I’ve also had the opportunity to work on reception, take part in the interviewing of new candidates.
What was the last book you read, what did you think of it?
I recently finished reading Fight Club by Chuck Palaniuk written about two years before the movie was released. It was absolutely superb; I loved Chuck’s humour and the elegance he used to describe the events. Definitely worth a look!
Who would you most like to have dinner with and why?
I started reading Richard Hammond’s second authobiography at the end of the summer and think it would be really cool to meet him. Since being on Top Gear he’s done some incredible things like dog sledding to the north pole or riding a motorbike the length of Vietnam. I’m pretty sure he’d have some interesting tales to tell!
