Marta da Silva as Mariana Ametxazurra

You want to know the story of how I am where I am?

Um, right.

OK.

I graduated from King's College in London.

I'm from Surrey.

Bagshot, obviously.

But went straight to London.

Finance was, yeah, not my ideal job, but, you know... Safe.

Exactly.

Seemed the safest.

I appreciate someone was firing a gun at me last night, so finance may have been the wrong choice after all.

I did a graduate scheme at Harcourt, which was just a trading arm of a kind of conglomerate of banks.

Then they offered a role at the end of it.

I was genuinely going to take it, but then I was kind of advised by my parents to not just take the first thing that came my way.

I had a good degree, masters from a good uni, but now I had a really good internship.

So the CV was already like, yeah, like I could assess my options.

And I applied for a few places.

And Morseman Williams was one of the ones that called me in for an interview.

It was a Friday.

I remember that because the internship was finishing that day and I was able to squeeze this in on my lunch break.
