An Update from Me...

26/01 - Last week, I was at the International Welcome Fair, and it was really nice to see how positively it impacted the students; helping them feel part of the community, make connections, and genuinely be heard during a really lively Q&A. There was also a stressful timetabling clash that would’ve made some students attend 2 two modules at the same time, but I managed to resolve it, and it felt deeply satisfying to know everyone could fully engage and feel supported without any disadvantage.
