  University of London Careers Service

  Oct 2023 - Jun 2024

  Career Feedback Panel

  Over the course of 2023-2024, I was a member of the University of London Careers Service's Careers Feedback Panel. During this time, I participated in focus groups, surveys, and other activities that shaped the strategic direction of the University of London Careers Service as it continues to support University of London students and recent graduates. Through this experience, I gained valuable skills such as collaboration, communication, complex problem-solving, and persuasion & negotiation.
