WWC Ambassadors

My name is Deborah Adejobi, and I am a second-year undergraduate studying Law at the University of Westminster. I am passionate about making a positive impact within my university community and ensuring students feel heard and supported.

Throughout my time at university, I have actively engaged in extracurricular activities, which have allowed me to connect with incredible people and broaden my perspective. I am particularly enthusiastic about sharing the fantastic opportunities that Westminster Working Cultures (WWC) has given me, as they have enhanced my understanding of career pathways and professional development.

As an aspiring lawyer, I strongly believe that networking and communication are essential skills and this has motivated me to apply for the WWC Ambassador role. I am excited about the opportunity to represent my fellow students, support their university journey, and contribute to a more inclusive and engaging academic environment.

Hi I’m Safia and I’m a final year Psychology student at the Westminster.

I had the privilege of attending the WWC trip to Toronto in September 2024, and it was the opportunity of a lifetime. I was able to indulge in my other interests and passions just by walking through the city and immersing myself in what the art, music, and creativity cultures had to offer there. I have made friends for life, been exposed to new cultures and professional landscapes, and have grown my communicative and networking skills all as a result of this amazing opportunity.

I’m Hasan Alikhan, a BA student in English Language and Global Communications with a passion for storytelling in all its forms. Whether through words, photography, or conversation, I’m always looking to capture and share meaningful experiences. You’ll rarely find me without my Polaroid, snapping moments that reflect the beauty of the world around me.

London is my playground and my muse. I’m always running around with my camera, capturing the city’s energy, hidden gems, and the way cultures blend seamlessly here. Every street has a story, every market a new discovery, and I love freezing these moments in time.

Food is another passion of mine – I’m a big foodie, constantly on the hunt for new flavours, from street food stalls to hole-in-the-wall eateries. Whether in London or traveling abroad, I believe the best way to understand a place is through its food.

Beyond exploration, I love deep conversations and listening to people’s stories. Reflection fuels my growth, and I embrace every opportunity to learn—about the world, about others, and about myself. Life’s best moments are the ones we dive into headfirst.

Hi, I’m Diaviane (pronounced Dee-av-ee-on) and I am a final year law student. I participated in the WWC UK June 2024 programme. During this program, and I was able to meet with various guest speakers which ranged from Westminster alumnus to CEOs from different sectors and industries and included a day trip to Cambridge.

The Westminster Working Cultures programme was a very memorable and rewarding experience as I was able to hear the success stories of each guest speaker as well as them providing us with valuable and beneficial advice and resources in order to develop our professional and personal skills. I am looking forward to becoming an ambassador as I want to give back to the programme and to encourage all students to apply.

Hello ! I am Tanya, a second year law student. I previously took part in the WWC Cairo 2024 program. It was a wonderful opportunity to grow both professionally and personally.

Along with visiting the beautiful pyramids of Giza, exploring Cairo gave me the opportunity to make new connections, learn more about a new culture and gain an insight into the realities of the job market. I also learned valuable insight into how to navigate the potential challenges of finding one's career path in their early 20s. Discussions ranged on numerous topics and gave me broader perspective on the working industry.

I have previously undertaken legal and non legal volunteer work and constantly thrive to build transferable skills by engaging with new opportunities. Outside academics, I often enjoy watching live musicals and old movies when I get the chance.

I would describe the WWC experience as 'transformational' and a 'once in a lifetime opportunity', and would therefore strongly advise anyone who has a curiosity to explore different perspectives and a keen interest to travel to give it a try! You won't regret it!

Hi, I’m Shriya Gupta, a final-year law student at the University of Westminster with a keen interest in international law and global relations. I am passionate about understanding how different legal systems operate and exploring solutions that make a positive impact on people's lives.

These opportunities helped me develop essential communication and networking skills while fostering a global mindset.

Hola! I’m Vishesh! I’m currently in my second year studying Cyber Security and Digital Forensics at the University of Westminster. My passion lies in protecting people’s data and privacy while exploring how technology and human behaviour intertwine, especially in the fascinating world of criminal psychology.

As the president of the Cyber Security Society and a two-time course representative, I love bringing people together and supporting my peers. Participating in the Westminster Working Cultures (WWC) UK program was an eye-opening experience that boosted my confidence in public speaking and taught me the value of building meaningful connections.

Outside the classroom, you’ll often find me reading psychological thrillers, strumming my ukulele, or enjoying the scenic countryside from a train window. I enjoy reading about different cultures, engaging in legal debates, and meeting people from diverse backgrounds. I’m also a proud recipient of the Gold Westminster Employability Award, which motivates me to keep challenging myself and growing personally and professionally.

As a WWC Ambassador, I’m excited to help others discover how these experiences can transform not just their careers but their perspectives on the world. I look forward to sharing my experiences and helping other students make the most of this incredible program. 

Hi! My name is Briola. I’m a second year software engineering student and I had the incredible opportunity to be part of the Westminster Working Culture programme in Berlin.

The program was not just about technical skills, but also about networking and building meaningful connections. I was able to meet amazing fellow students and industry professionals, learning from their diverse experiences and expertise.

My time in Berlin taught me that collaboration and networking are vital when it comes to growing, but on top of that stepping out of comfort zone is equally important if you want to grow personally and professionally.

As an ambassador, I highly encourage everyone to take part in this programme as it offers more than academic growth. It’s a stepping stone in building your network and I am here to inspire you to get on this journey!

Hi! My name is Marina, and I'm a Biomedical Sciences student with a passion for improving global patient care through scientific advancements and strategic healthcare solutions.

This year, I was incredibly lucky and grateful to be selected for the Westminster Working Culture program in Singapore, where I gained invaluable career insights, mentoring advice, and unforgettable memories in the heart of Asia's biotechnology hub, along with new friendships and connections. My experience at Google HQ, particularly with Google DeepMind, opened my eyes to the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Engaging with industry leaders and exploring cutting-edge innovations ignited my enthusiasm for the future of biomedical sciences.

I am excited to share my journey as a WWC Ambassador, hoping to empower fellow students to seize opportunities that can shape our careers and foster a collaborative spirit in our academic community. I believe that we rise by lifting others.

I’m Shakira and I’m currently on my second year of university studying finance. I’m half Italian and half Ethiopian and moved to the UK when I was 15. I thrive on challenges and make it a point to stay surrounded by positivity, which is why I applied for this position. The Dubai trip boosted my confidence and motivated me to push myself daily to improve. I am eager to share this experience with others because I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to fully embrace such moments. When you truly understand the purpose of the trip and allow yourself to live it fully, it can open up an entirely new world.

Hey everyone, I am Raghav Goyal, a final-year Business Management(Marketing) student at Westminster. I have done the WWC program three times in the past  year, and have made connections and learned from industry professionals, in London, Birmingham, Cambridge, and Dubai! This is the best program any Westminster student can be part of to learn, grow, and step out of their comfort zone.

Along with this program, I am currently building a startup with Wenetwork, I have volunteered in Sri Lanka with Global Experience Bursary, have finished the WEA platinum award, and I was the WBPL student of the year 2024. I love to make the most out of all the opportunities presented to me, and I wish to inspire all Westminster students to do so.

Hi, this is Jin. A beauty from China who aspires to become a successful female entrepreneur with a phd degree in psychology (not yet, on the way). Before embracing this goal, I spent two years studying fashion design, a period filled with confusion and struggle.The tortuous student career has taught me the importance of courage, confidence and ability, allowing me to face challenges with a smile and grace, and I believe my strengths as a compassionate listener and a curious adventurer enable me to inspire and support more students. Looking forward to connecting with like-minded individuals at WWC who share the same drive for growth and making a positive impact.

Hi, my name is Rajaa, and I am a second-year Biomedical Science student at the University of Westminster. I'm enthusiastic about developing my abilities and getting practical experience, which is why I'm involved in various voluntary work and projects. Aside from my studies, I’m dedicated to making a positive impact in the community.

Participating in the WWC UK program was a delight and a very fulfilling experience.

Hi, I’m Drilena! I’m in my final year of Business Management, driven by big aspirations for my future. Alongside my studies, I volunteer as a Junior Consultant at Westminster Business Consultants, serve as a Course Representative, e-Mentor, and soon, a Campus Ambassador—clearly, I love guiding others.

When I first arrived in the UK, I had ambitious dreams but little direction. Missing out on key opportunities due to lack of awareness fuelled my dedication to raising awareness about Westminster’s working cultures and becoming an ambassador. Since participating in the UK program in April 2024, I’ve been raving about how a pivotal moment it was. Receiving direct insights from professionals in roles I aspire to? That was an invaluable privilege. It was, without a doubt, one of the most enriching weeks of my academic and professional life here in London.

This program has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth. Applying the wisdom and strategies I learned from these remarkable individuals has been a key driver in shaping my path. Becoming an ambassador is the least I can do to give back to a program run by passionate professionals committed to our success.

Hi, I'm Beyza, currently in my second year of law school. My future academic ambitions include specializing in either property law or immigration law. Outside of my studies, I'm a passionate football fan, especially when it comes to Trabzonspor, my favourite Turkish team that I deeply support. Alongside football, I have a strong interest in netball and try to play whenever I can. Balancing sports with my academic life helps me stay energized and focused, allowing me to develop both personally and professionally. I believe this balance is key to my growth as I work toward achieving my career goals.

I am an avid traveller and thrive off new interactions and experiences. I thoroughly enjoy being exposed to new cultures and learning about the lesser known habits around the globe.

Having visited almost 50 countries thus far, I am forever searching for fresh and exciting career opportunities through international networking and exploration.

My current course is European Legal Studies, and I hope to further my education and produce a PhD in the field of International Law. Other core interests of mine include politics, the automotive industry and international affairs.

Being in the financial capital of the SEA Region, surrounded by enterprising minds and raw ambition encouraged me to think in a way that I previously hadn’t. I noted that Singapore is looking ahead to the future and numerous discussions we had with employees in the region included topics of sustainability, intellectual property and the future of artificial intelligence.

Hearing from the universities network of Alumni who have climbed the ranks in their successive fields and outperformed odds that were stacked against them inspired myself and other students in a way that is hard to put into words. I chose to be an ambassador as I feel like the University has created something special here, which few universities can rival and I want to encourage other students to take challenge themselves by embracing it and seeing where it takes them.

Having taken part in such an amazing trip, not only have I been able to pick up on many different employability skills and improve upon my existing skills where I have been able to apply them in diverse situations. The programme allowed me the privilege of exploring new horizons and pushing beyond my comfort zone, all within a small period of time. This experience left an igniting passion within me to take it forward as an ambassador. My aim now is to raise awareness of this life-changing opportunity and support future participants of the programme. 

Hi! My name is Summayah and I'm a Pharmacology student with a passion for photography, videography, and all things creative. 

Since a young age, I've always enjoyed travelling, communicating with locals, and exploring new cultures - so working abroad in MENA has always been something I've wanted to pursue. My experience on the 2024 WWC Programme in Cairo provided me with insights into the international world of work and aided my professional development and the expansion of my skillset. Networking with alumni and local professionals and creating lifelong connections whilst also immersing in the culture and putting my language skills to use really has prepared me with what to expect when working abroad in the future. By becoming an ambassador, I can share some of my valuable experiences and tips to other students in a similar stage, whilst also giving back to the programme and community which provided me with this genuinely life-changing opportunity.

Hi! I’m Alisha Khan and am currently a first-year Architecture BA student. 

Partaking in the Cairo WWC trip was truly a transformative journey for me. I was able to enhance my transferable skillset through interacting with professionals in a range of sectors whilst solidifying my desire to work internationally. I hope to use my position as a WWC Ambassador to ignite the same curiosity and motivation I had before WWC in other students, pushing them out of their comfort zones. I’m thrilled at the prospect of contributing to the Westminster Working Culture initiative and giving back to the programme that has aided me in my professional growth. I look forward to motivating other students and sharing my perspective on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that should be experienced by all!

Hi! I am Abdul Aliyyu. I was born in the Maldives, and I moved here when I was 10. I am a first-year student, I reside mostly at the Cavendish campus but do occasionally visit the Regents street campus gym. Some of my hobbies are reading, rowing, and playing The Last of Us. 

Recently, I had the privilege of participating in the WWC Cairo programme, an experience that left me in awe. The history and the culture were so rich in Cairo, and I hope to someday be able to go again. I gained valuable experience on work life and making connections through networking. I am now striving to being a WWC ambassador because I believe that I can share my experiences with others because it offers a remarkable avenue for personal growth. I hope that I can give back to fellow students to ensure that they are able to learn about a culture new to them and to make lifelong friendships whilst doing so.
