Taking Charge.
Leadership 1
I am a Mentor for 1st year international students at my campus. I help them settle in socially, teach them how to use the platforms and what important campus staff they need to be familiar with. I extend my assistance to each mentee twice a week for coffee on campus to see how they are settling in, as well as provide support if they are struggling with the adjustment to university. I am currently also tutoring Accounting to 3rd year students as well as 1st years.
