Hello, I’m Anshika, hailing from the vibrant land of India. I studied Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations at UoM. I’m thoroughly enjoying getting to know the various schemes and connecting with wonderful individuals. I’m genuinely excited about contributing to the growth of the diverse schemes and looking forward to opportunities and challenges that come with it. Looking ahead, I’m also gearing up to immerse myself in the exciting world of social media, overseeing the Peer Support social media channels and being a part of some fantastic projects.

Hi! My name is Rosa, I'm from West Yorkshire originally and am a recent graduate at UOM where I studied Geography. I took part in a Mentoring role in my third year where I was introduced to Peer Support and heard about the opportunity to be an Intern. Over the past month I've really enjoyed meeting with all my schemes and seeing how engaged all the students are. I look forward to another successful year of Peer Support!
