What aspect of your role do you enjoy the most?
The aspects I most enjoy is helping students, even if it’s with basic queries, and my colleagues; I’m blessed to work with brilliant people, not just in my office, but across the whole third floor of the Watson Building! I particularly enjoy any opportunity I get to work with colleagues, whether this is helping coordinate projects/events or staring blankly at a spreadsheet together.
How do you contribute to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment at work?
I like to think I contribute to an inclusive and welcoming environment by always being approachable and empathetic, listening actively and offering support- whether to fellow staff or students, and communicating professionally, but authentically. I’m a big believer in small acts of kindness and trying to make other people’s lives easier where possible. I was proud to help co-coordinate Inclusion Health Day which was held at BSMS in June; it’s a brilliant and incredibly meaningful event, and something I was proud to be a part of!
