Mentoring Schemes

I specialise in mentoring students interested in the quantitative life sciences; Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) students; international students; first-generation immigrants; victims of linguistic oppression; and neurodivergents.

Imperial College Careers Service's Alumni Mentoring Scheme

The scheme aims to support the development of student employability through gaining an informed career insight and empowering students to achieve their career aims. It also seeks to advance diversity and inclusion by encouraging the networking propensity of students from underrepresented groups. I joined the scheme in 2022. In each cycle, I work with my assigned mentees across the academic year with a minimum of four points of engagement.

Activate Student Mentoring Programme

This cross-departmental mentoring scheme was established as a part of Imperial College London's 2021 Race Equality Charter Action Plan. It aims to support recipients of master's scholarships for disabled students and presidential scholarships for students of black heritage, as well as minority ethnic and disabled PhD students. I joined the scheme in 2023. Every academic year, during a period of about six months, I meet my mentees six times.
