BA Arabic
Hi guys,
I'm currently in my fourth year studying Arabic and Economics and I’ve just returned from an incredible year abroad in Jordan.
Over the past few years, I’ve completed internships across various sectors and developed a strong interest in the MENA region, particularly in the areas of diplomacy and international student recruitment.
I'm also passionate about widening participation and social mobility, and I’m keen to work on projects or initiatives that support access to education and opportunity—especially for underrepresented communities!
