Through her role pioneering specialized welfare support for the Oxford LGBTQ+ community as a “Rainbow Peer” and her volunteer work improving access to higher education for refugees in Japan and the UK, she has become particularly attuned to the diverse needs and concerns of students as they navigate the process of preparing for university.
