Q & A

with Natasha Prajapati

Answering this issues Q&A’s is Natasha Prajapati who is the iKBBI’s Inspector Co-Ordinator and is responsible for the operational management and deployment of the field inspector team.

You’ve recently joined the iKBBI, what are your first impressions?

I am glad I have joined the iKBBI as the people I work with are great; they all work very well as a team and are very supportive. I have been welcomed into the fold with open arms, which is fantastic! The office is well run too, I have worked at several multi-national companies in London but I have never been invited to the Houses of Parliament, where the iKBBI's 10 year anniversary was held. It was very exciting and I was somewhat starstruck!

What attracted you to your role with the iKBBI?

Before I applied for the role, I'd heard lots of good things about the institute, how it’s the only one of its kind and how its growing all the time. I applied and thankfully got offered the role as Inspections Co-ordinator. I am enjoying my varied role and am building up a relationship with the iKBBI inspectors.

Enough of business, tell us about yourself?

I'm blessed to have a 5 year old son called Kaelan; he's a very loving, rambunctious little man who never ceases to amaze me every day! I am very close to my two younger sisters who I'm immensely proud of. I am currently studying a Counselling Diploma at South Essex College, which I love! In my spare time I enjoy swimming, going to the gym and live for my little trips away with Kaelan!

What or who makes you laugh?

My son makes me laugh, but most of the time I have to hide it as it involves him doing something mischievous! I love Reeves and Mortimer, Ricky Gervais and Russell Brand. 

Who would you like to be stuck in a lift with?

Matthew McConaughey! Not only is he easy on the eye but also he seems like a funny person to be around!

Favourite holiday destination?

Where do I start? Nepal (my dad is Nepali), New York, Hong Kong and not to mention Orlando!! Prior to having my son, I went every year from 1995 to 2010!

What’s your favourite movie?

That’s a tough one as I have a few in different categories! Girlie one, The Family Stone. Action one, Man on Fire. Comedy one, The Jerk and Dumb and Dumber.

What song would most likely get you up in the dance floor?

90s dance or alternative songs, e.g. Higher State of Consciousness Josh Wink or Smells like Teen Spirit, Nirvana

What makes you cringe?

David Brent in The Office! I love it though!

Hopes for the Future?

To stay healthy, happy and provide a good future for my son, my family and I.
