When Calise Liu finished high school with great math scores and a keen interest in business, actuarial studies seemed like the obvious pathway.
She started her Bachelor of Commerce and Science/Actuarial Studies at UNSW, assuming that being an actuary would consist only of numbers and statistics, which all seemed very comfortable and safe.
“But it has turned out to be a lot more than that,” she says. “I’m glad that I have been able to work as an actuary in social impact areas like climate change, even if it has pushed me into new and challenging areas.”
Big picture thinking
It was this drive to apply her craft for the greater good that earned Liu ANZIIF’s 2023 Young Insurance Professional of the Year Award, with judges commending her “big picture thought leadership across climate risk and insurance affordability”.
She began an actuarial internship at Finity Consulting in Sydney in 2013 and became an analyst in 2015. She says she enjoys the work culture at Finity, which also took home ANZIIF’s Professional Services Firm of the Year at the awards ceremony held in Sydney on 24 August.
