What do you do at IOOF?

My position at IOOF is within the Premier Services team. We do our best to make life easier for our advisers and help with any problems or queries.

Why did you join IOOF?

I joined IOOF to learn more about the financial services industry. I hope the things I’m learning help me manage my own money better too!

What was your first job?

My first job was as a waitress at a Turkish restaurant. It was a weekend job while I was studying.

What is the funniest/strangest thing that has happened (to you) at work?

The strangest thing that’s happened (and still happens) to me at work is when I’m called ‘Ibraham’ or ‘Hebrew’ by people who don’t know how to say my name. It happens quite a lot…

When I was five, I wanted to be (as a grown up)…

Growing up I wanted to be Madonna’s back up dancer.

In three words, I am (describe yourself)

I’m a shopaholic.

Something I want to learn is

I’d like to learn how to speak French.

What is your favourite sports team?

Carlton Football Club and Manchester United (only due to the men being so good looking in both teams).

Favourite… (book/movie/singer/band)

My favourite movie is Stand by me, and my favourite singer is Prince.

What keeps you going at work? (Or, how many cups of coffee per day?)

What keeps me going at work is being cheeky to my colleagues and my manager.

My favourite place in Melbourne

My favourite place in Melbourne would have to be my mum’s kitchen.
