Ask an Actuary:
We've asked actuaries to describe the path that led them to an actuarial career. For this installment, our featured actuary is Joy-Ann Payne, ACAS, Senior Manager at Deloitte Consulting. Every actuary finds out about the profession in their own unique way. For Joy-Ann, it happened to be a chance discussion with her doctor about possible career choices.
As she says "the rest is history."
