Chubb Life NZ has awarded Tiffany Koh its 2024 Actuarial Scholarship, she is the ninth recipient of the annual award.
Currently completing a double-major degree in finance and actuarial Science at Victoria University of Wellington, Koh says becoming an actuary is a “natural fit” for her.
“I’ve always loved how dependable data is,” she says. “As a kid I would often imagine different scenarios and then use past data to predict what would most likely happen. So becoming an actuary feels like a natural fit for me.
“I’m so excited to receive this award and to have the opportunity to work in such a highly regarded organisation alongside experienced actuaries.”
The scholarship provides Koh with three months’ hands-on experience in the Chubb Life actuarial team and $5,000 cash.
Michael Bartram, Chubb Life’s Chief Actuary, says Koh has demonstrated an incredible passion for the actuarial field.
“The Chubb Life Actuarial Scholarship is one of the ways we hope to support and encourage new talent in what is a less understood and key role in the insurance industry.
Tiffany is the ninth recipient of the scholarship which has provided students a strong start in their actuarial careers. She begins her internship on 28 November 2024.
