Bio
Laura Jostins-Dean
Chimdinma was part of the calling team for the Pembroke College Oxford Spring Telethon 2021. Chimdi's main role was to call alumni to update them on college life, hear about their time at Pembroke and to ask for support for the College's Annual Fund. Chimdi was an invaluable member of the team and it was a real pleasure to work with her. Chimdi was always enthusiastic and she had a very good understanding of the role. Chimdi's communication skills are excellent, she was able to engage with alumni of all ages from a range of backgrounds and feedback from alumni following their conversations with Chimdi was wholly positive.

I have had the pleasure of managing Chimdinma directly for over two years, in a variety of professional settings. Her commitment to education is second to none; she has continually demonstrated an 'above and beyond' attitude that has allowed her to produce exemplary work and become a highly skilled tutor. From the moment she joined Explore Learning, she demonstrated unmatched passion for fantastic customer service and is ready to offer solutions to any obstacles to this. She is an absolute pleasure to work alongside, and I know she will succeed in her personal and professional lives. Anyone that has the luck to work alongside Chimdinma will encounter a young professional with unbridled energy and commitment to her every role.
