While working as a personal assistant/carer for a disabled woman I have developed many skills such as multi-tasking, patience, being able to think on my feet and figure out solutions to issues before they turn into problems. I have also carried out administrative tasks, such as organising her day-to-day life in booking trips, responding to emails and phone calls, and helped her with interviews, writing job-ads and other issues related to recruitment. While working with, and for, her, I became a part of the Independent Living movement in Sweden, and joined in their campaign for increased rights for disabled people, including attending the Independent Living Conference in Brussels in September 2017.

Here I worked with Susan Gibson and a team to organise a set of events with and for Nobel Peace Prize laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus. We raised money for his Social Business programme, and had a very successful week of events. I mainly worked in organising events, planning venue, menu, decorations and such, as well as keeping track of administrative tasks, such as mailing lists, attendance sheets and logging money raised etc. I was also communicating with both attendees of our events, and liaising with others necessary for the event management.

At Regent’s I gained experience by working for the Enquiries office, where I contacted prospective students and their families through emails, phone calls and meetings. I was also a student ambassador and part of the team running the Open Day events, where we met with prospective students and so developed networking, public speaking and communication skills. I also performed purely administrative work, such as sending out prospectuses, filing and sorting applications in the Admissions office, and logging information in different systems within the University’s databases.
