Why did you become an Insolvency Practitioner/Choose a career in Insolvency?
I started my professional career in Mid 2015 as an account assistant. I worked in this sector until late 2016, when I came to know about the Insolvency industry. I consulted with my colleagues who advised me that insolvency was a specialised sector, where accounting and law work together. I liked the sound of that and hence I started my carrier in Insolvency in January 2017.

Your most embarrassing moment in insolvency
In my previous role, one day the IP had an informal meeting with his family members in our office and somehow his trousers tore off, so that they barely covered his backside! Keeping a straight face, he simply apologised, and simply said to his family members “sorry I tore off my trousers!” I didn’t know where to look.

Your proudest moment in your insolvency career?
When I attended a court hearing at Chelmsford County Court and Rolls Building – Business and Property Courts of England & Wales.

What piece of wisdom would you pass onto a new recruit into the world of insolvency?
Always be a good human being. Listen to what others have to say before you speak and believe in the value of teamwork. Also, if you feel something strongly, it always makes sense to me to express it – at the right time and in the right way, of course – otherwise you will regret it in the future.
-
What is your unfulfilled ambition?
To help others without letting them know that I am helping.

Persons who most influenced your career/life?
I do not have any specific person who has influenced in my life. Rather, for me, I am grateful for all the people that I meet in my life. They all help me broaden my perspective and change my perception towards life for the better.

Favourite song?
Any dance songs which start my feet tapping and move my body.
