Why should you be Lord Sugar's business partner?
I should be Lord Sugar’s business partner because I am a sound investment that will bring in huge profits. I am incredibly motivated, intelligent and dedicated.

What is the most interesting thing about you?
I write a successful blog on the humorous side of the academic world, which has been published by the Guardian.

What's the most impressive thing you've ever done in business?
I completed my PhD in just over 3 years, whilst also working full-time.
