One minute interview

Which book are you currently reading?

Can I answer two? Ken Follett’s Fall of Giants. This is the history of our century. It is thick and I love thick books. I also enjoy reading history and documentary books. The other one I’m reading is The 60s by Ketil Bjørnstad. That is also thick.

What is your hidden talent?

I once crocheted a christening gown for my daughter, which my first grandchild will be christened in on 6 December. Proud moment. Perhaps not that many NAV directors before me have been crocheting. 

What is your favourite tool in the office?

My PC.

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to become a doctor. I did work a bit in a hospital. And became less keen. I was not very good at science in school either. All the girls did languages, and so did I.
