I’ve already had the opportunity to contribute to our new Academic and Student Experience Strategy, and look forward to working with colleagues across the University to realise its vision. Mahfuza and the team at Society were pivotal in supporting my candidacy for the role, helping to explore my potential for the post, notwithstanding my slightly unusual career trajectory. If you’re interested in, but unsure about your ‘fit’ for a vacancy on offer, I urge you to reach out to the Society team: they were a great help.”
