All of which only work with meticulous planning and preparation which starts months in advance.My role also tasked me with overseeing the financial planning of the society alongside the Vice President (who acts as treasurer). I ensure all of the Society funds and sponsorships are correct.I had 11 committee members, which included the executive team (Myself, Vice President, Academic and Inclusions Officer and Secretary) as well as a range of positions such as; two Charity Officers, two Publicity Officers, two Social Secretaries, and an Activities Secretary.

  I acted as a 1st year mentor for two consecutive years while at university. In my first year as a mentor, I offered support to a single 1st year student. My role offered a positive experience and allowed me to offer my knowledge of Sheffield to a younger peer. I also assisted my mentee with course related issues as well as offering pastoral support.In my second year I was provided with two new mentees, both of whom were Erasmus students (Studying at Sheffield for one year). My experience of mentoring has been massively different this year as these students require different forms of support and ask vastly different questions.

• Student Ambassador/Mentor - Outreach Team

  • Oct 2016 - Jun 2017

  In my second year of study at the University of Sheffield, I worked as an ambassador/mentor at a local school (Netherthorpe School), mentoring three year nine pupils. My role was to work with pupils who had the ability to go to University but were unlikely to do so due to a variety of personal obstacles such as financial difficulties.My time was spent trying to gain a sustainable and healthy relationship with each pupil whilst helping them to hone some of their core skills and strengthen their weaker points.

• Publicity Officer - English Society

  • May 2016 - Jun 2017

  At the end of my first year at the University of Sheffield i was elected as one of two Publicity Officers for the English Society.Between myself and my partner we split the workload. I was responsible for managing the Societies Social Media pages and marketing events. As well as this, I also responded promptly to queries from both non-society and society members. I was expected to be involved in the setting up and running of events in order to have a full understanding of the details, in order to publicise them positively and successfully to our target audience. I was personally responsible for the creation of the 'Book of the Week' scheme, which has been hugely popular with students and increased weekly engagement massively. The 'Book of the Week' scheme was created to combat the English Societies lack of inclusion based events. I created this idea to combat growing discontent among society members that the society had become too focused upon social interactions and not enough about the department. I aimed to ground the society and make students feel as if they were part of a departmental society. 'Book of the Week' achieved great success and will be running in the next academic year.
