I was part of the Japanese Studies Peer Support Committee. In my 2nd year, I was both the Treasurer and the Vice Chairperson. In my final year, I was the Treasurer and Chairperson. I handled all the accounting/bookkeeping, I arranged weekly meetings with all committee members + Japanese Studies staff, I chaired the meetings (was in charge), I contacted and negotiated with local businesses to secure funding for events, I organised and hosted large events like pub quizzes or essay writing seminars for the entire department.

I also worked for 3 summers at Edinburgh University as the Course Mentor for international exchange students.
