Hola! I’m Ana. Originally from Mexico, now a proud UoM MSc Operations, Project & Supply Chain Management graduate. My time at Manchester was shaped by community and purpose: I worked as a Sustainability Champion, volunteered with mental-health and wellbeing initiatives, and helped international students getting ready for life in Manchester and brave its moody weather.

My MSc sharpened my operations and leadership mindset, and now I’m bringing that into Peer Support. I oversee 17 PASS and Peer Mentor schemes, produce the fortnightly update to spotlight the most valuable student opportunities across campus, and track data to strengthen engagement and impact. My goal is simple: to make the student experience smoother, more connected, and more empowering.

When I’m not doing that, you’ll find me crate-digging for vinyls, painting with oils, or enjoying a comedy night.

Let’s connect and let’s make this year great!

Hey I'm Milly, I'm from Newcastle and recently graduated from UoM with Psychology with International Study degree! After benefitting from the Peer Support scheme academically in my first year, I became a Peer Mentor in my final year where I planned and hosted social events for first year Psychology students. As this was deeply rewarding, I joined the Peer Support team as a graduate and now manage 17 PASS and Peer Mentor schemes. I also manage the Peer Support Instagram account and I am keen to ensure new UoM students have the best possible experience here in Manchester!
