One minute interview

What are you reading right now?

I am reading Gutenberggalaxens nova by Nina Burton, which is about Erasmus of Rotterdam and the media revolution in the 1500s. I am also reading Lay Down Your Arms, Bertha von Suttner’s book from 1859. 

What is your favourite tool in the office?

My favourite took in the office is my beautiful stones which I put on top of piles of paper as a kind of letter weights.

As a child, what did you want to become?

As a child I wanted to be something in a job where you didn’t get very dirty. I grew up in a working class home where people brought smells home with them. 

What is your hidden talent?

My hidden talent is that I am very practical. I have a welder’s certificate and enjoy tinkling with old machinery like lawn mowers and such.
