Who am I?
- About Karthik
What was your experience of Further/Higher education like?
I started my higher education experience like many as a student. I am an alum of University of Sheffield, a place where I developed by taking up many opportunities beyond my academics. I returned to university life at The University of Melbourne. This gave me a unique perspective of being an international student. Studying my masters in Development Studies opened up my world to new people and new understandings. I continued to make the most of university life by taking up volunteering and other extra curriculum activities. I hold my time at both universities fondly, as it truly provided an environment to explore and develop. Something I want all students at UCL to have.
Professionally, I began my higher education experience with UCL’s Alumni team. I worked for 2 years as an Alumni & Supporter Care Officer. It meant I was able to interact with alumni and students both remotely but also in person during many events. This time really showed the profound impact the time at UCL has on our students.
What do you like most about your work as a Student Adviser?
Being able to guide students as they begin their university life. Seeing students discover and flourish due the opportunities and support we guide them towards is very rewarding. I also really like engaging with students and working to help them understand their new environment and community at UCL.
What's a surprising or interesting fact about yourself?
I have flown a plane, driven a combine harvester, an 18-wheeler truck, a speed boat and the biggest chaser bin in the world (ask me what that is if you want a long story).
