I&#8217;ll finish my internship in September and will return to finish my BSc in Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tell us what a typical day in your job at Loughborough looks like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical day involves me carrying out tasks including advising students on their placement applications, checking CVs and Cover Letters, updating our portal resources, and creating marketing content for our students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I always like to split my day into tasks to help me stay organised and let&#8217;s not forget the coffee breaks &#8211; they are essential to keep me going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other aspects of my role include helping out at visit and open days, planning and attending events, and speaking to company representatives. I am also part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lboro.ac.uk\/internal\/groups\/bame\/\">BAME Staff Network<\/a> and have an integral role in contributing to the marketing and communications of the network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s your favourite project you&#8217;ve worked on?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a set of informative videos for our students to educate them on health and safety and prepare them for their placement. This involved a lot of acting and video edits which I enjoyed quite a lot as I got to involve my team and other colleagues. It allowed me to showcase my creativity and talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your proudest moment at Loughborough?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winning the Social Responsibility Champion award and being part of the Team of the Year 2023 award at the Loughborough Business School Staff Celebration Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tell us something you do outside of work that we might not know about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of work, I teach Arabic at a local mosque in Leicester, as I have studied the language for six years. The class ranges from 5-year-olds to 13-year-olds, and this can be fun and challenging at the same time. Overall it is a very rewarding experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a passion for planning events and I have my own business which involves party planning for birthdays, baby showers and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also carry out a lot of charity and community work. I try to help people wherever I can, whether that be preparing food parcels for households, delivering hot food to those in need, speaking at community events, or advising individuals in need of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your favourite quote? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The true measure of your courage is not whether you reach your goal &#8211; it&#8217;s whether you decide to get back on your feet no matter how many times you&#8217;ve failed!&#8221; &#8211; Oprah Winfrey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you would like to feature in \u20185 Minutes With\u2019, or you work with someone who you think would be great to include, please email Soph Dinnie at S.Dinnie@lboro.ac.uk.<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is your job title and how long have you worked at Loughborough?
