She is very proud to be part of the team, as the Partnership and Engagement Manager, her roles span developing relationships with partners and students to creating a platform for knowledge exchange.
As a member of the Social Spark team, she leads an innovative project which empowers students to co-create with the Social Spark partners and shines a spotlight on helping people improve their health and well-being through living independent and fulfilling lives. Through discussion events, we aim to encourage students to share solutions that can then be further developed by student intern teams for potential implementation by the Social Spark team.
