Parminder Johal

Royal Berkshire NHS FT

What are you most proud of?

My family, success in my career and what I have achieved so far despite the struggles.

What makes you angry?

Rudeness - there is absolutely no need for it, being kind and courteous are basic human traits! Inequality, people taking advantage of others…

What sports team do you support? (if any)

Arsenal.

What famous person would you like to meet and why?

There are so many but I would say comedian Trevor Noah for his quick wit and more for his perseverance as someone who didn’t let his life struggles stop him from becoming successful - “behind every joke and laugh, there is a hidden, sad traumatic experience”.

What superpower would you most like to have and why?

Invisibility as people always show their true colours when they think no one is watching. Also being able to transport myself to a sunny island at the click of a finger!

What historical figure do you most admire and why?

Martin Luther King JR for his role in civil rights, racial equality and never giving up despite the challenges to make a difference.

What’s your perfect weekend?

Spending time with family and friends in the sunshine in a great city with good food and drinks!

What’s your favourite meal?

Anything Mexican or Italian but to choose one it would be good bowl of pasta.

Can you describe yourself in one word?

Driven.

What do you hope to be doing 5 years from now?

Travelling more and continuing to grow on a personal and professional level.
