What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities where I can build and improve student-facing products—whether that’s guidance platforms, structured content pipelines, or organizing learning experiences with clear workflows.

I founded and scaled a guidance platform for O/A Level students at Peer Pathways, reaching 55,000+ cumulative views. I organized online webinars, built a structured organization with 7 departments and 30+ interns and managers, and designed a booking website for student–mentor calls to streamline access.

I also led editorial production as Editor-in-Chief at The Youth POV, publishing and editing 15+ articles in 3 months with a 7-member team and an editorial calendar. From my roles at the Science Society and as a RoundPier intern, I’ve worked across content pipelines, onboarding workflows, and project delivery.
