What is your role and how long have you been at LCP?
I work in LCP's Pensions and Investment Technology team, which is responsible for developing and maintaining the models used by LCP's Pensions and Investment departments.
I completed a summer internship with the team in 2022, between my second and third year at university, before joining as a graduate in September 2023.
During my internship, I got to experience what it was like to work as part of the team and completed tasks which had a real impact on our tech. I also got involved with a range of socials during the course of the 8 weeks I was a summer intern.
When I returned as a graduate, I went through the graduate training program, which was very helpful as it reminded me of the technical knowledge I had learned during my internship, developed this knowledge further and also improved my soft skills.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and your background
I studied Maths, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics (MORSE) at Southampton University. As part of my university course, I studied some modules which granted exemptions from the IFoA exams and LCP have supported me to continue studying for and sitting the actuarial exams alongside my role.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing sport and regularly play 5 a side football with colleagues.
What do you find most interesting with the sector/industry you’re in?
I enjoy the problem-solving nature of the work and that no two tasks are the same. As technology continually evolves and our tech needs to do more, being on the forefront of that makes the role very rewarding.
