5 MINUTES WITH LAYLA

What does your day typically involve?

It’s different every day, though I mainly organise meetings, greet clients, answer phone calls, lodge basic tax documents, sort the mail and do any admin work that our team needs. I ensure everyone is comfortable and make tea or coffee for anyone visiting our office. It’s a lot of organising!

What are some of your highlights from your work here?

I love having a routine, but with a bit of variety in my day. I’ve also made some really nice friends here. The team is lovely.

What do you do outside of the office?

I love the beach and occasionally hike too. I really enjoy playing the piano and guitar and hanging out with my friends and family. There’s nothing I love more than hosting family get-togethers and friend catch-ups at my apartment.

Do you have any favourite movies, TV shows or podcasts?

My all-time favourite movie without a doubt is The Great Gatsby and my favourite show has got to be Peaky Blinders, I love anything set in the roaring 20s!

What’s your favourite food?

Chicken Kiev! It’s a childhood favourite – very warming.

What’s on your bucket list?

Travel is big for me – to go to France and Greece and London and Spain. I want to explore the authenticity, culture, and food each country has to offer.

I’d also love to travel in a van around Australia – deck out an old van with a bed, fairy lights and everything I need and travel around either the whole or half of Australia. It’d be fun to camp, go to the beach and live out of the van for a few months!
