The best thing about my job is being able to help clients understand data and implement strategies to make their business better.

Diversify yourself and allow personal experimentation and flexibility. Refuse to conform to stereotypes or expectations: go against the grain and be unique.

I work at an actuarial and data analytics consulting firm. Our work is project-based and our clients consist of insurers, reinsurers, Government agencies and corporates.

In my role as an analyst, I spend most of my time doing the maths. This includes processing and manipulating data and updating and building models.

The company strongly encourages us to constantly review our plans for the future and what roles we'd like to find ourselves in further down the track. No role is off-limits, so the possibilities are endless.

Failure isn’t failure if you learn something from it – then it becomes a stepping stone. People don't like to talk about bad times so it's hard to know, but more ‘successful people’ than you may realise bombed at something else before they started succeeding.

As an analyst, my role predominately involves undertaking research, performing financial analysis, preparing presentations and building financial models.
