What excites you most about your role at FlavorActiV?
Every day is different, which is something I really enjoy. I love working with people and having the chance to be creative. With such a diverse range of backgrounds, I always learn something nee, especially when collaborating with the global team on projects. It keeps things exciting and never gets old.
What's one flavour that always sparks debate in sensory trainings?
Geosmin is an interesting one, for me it's a strong and easily detectable flavour but many people are anosmic to this flavour.
What's the most interesting plave you've ever visited?
When I was 19, I travelled to Vietnam on my own and made my way to Ha Giang in the far north. I spent 3 days travelling through rural Vietnam on a motorbike. I’ve yet to visit anywhere that matches its beauty and character. Delhi might come a close second, though the two aren’t really comparable. Asia is an incredible continent, so diverse, with each country offering something completely unique, and I know I’ll always enjoy exploring new places across the region.
What's something people might be surprised to learn about you?
My family tree is quite diverse. I have as much Scottish blood in me as I do Indian.
SWEET OR SAVOURY?
Depends on the day. Today, it's savoury.
WHAT'S YOUR GO TO DRINK?
Aperol Spritz. Any climate, any season.
EARLY BIRD OR NIGHT OWL?
Night Owl
FAVOURITE SEASON?
Spring
FAVOURITE BOOK OR MOVIE?
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
