Background
I (pronouns they/them) have worked in the education sector for more than seven years.
I worked as a full-time teacher and part-time tutor in Japan, offering 100+ students in secondary education academic, pastoral, and career support.
As a Student Experience Assistant at the School of Economics (October 2022 - May 2025), I was actively engaged in organising various opportunities and activities to enhance the student experience - from managing events and workshops to proposing and leading the School's student voice reform. In addition, I voluntarily contributed to building the infrastructure of administrative support for the School's study abroad.
Currently as the Project Officer, I support the design and development of the University's new Student Voice Framework, which aims to create consistency and transparency in student voice activities across Schools and Colleges.
