Meet our new Schools Liaison & Access Officer
Hi everyone, I鈥檓 Savannah and I鈥檓 the new School Liaison and Access Officer here at Univ!
I鈥檝e come here from “The Other Place” 鈥� I did an MPhil in Philosophy of Science at Magdalene College, Cambridge and then worked as an access officer at Cambridge SU for a year. My work at Cambridge SU made me really passionate about student representation and making sure students are involved as decision-makers in projects, and I鈥檓 keen to bring this with me into Univ as I head up our team of Student Ambassadors.
Before this, I did a BSc in Mathematics at the University of Nottingham. Whilst at Nottingham, I worked as a Student Ambassador myself and a digital content creator 鈥� I started my YouTube channel in my first year at Nottingham and have kept it up ever since!
I鈥檓 originally from Wolverhampton, just over the county border into South Staffordshire. Staffordshire is one of Univ鈥檚 link areas for schools which feels very serendipitous! I鈥檓 proud to be from the Black Country and wish I hadn鈥檛 consciously tried to lose my accent when I was younger.
Birmingham is a great city 鈥� definitely visit if you can! 聽I鈥檓 a triplet born on 29 February, and everyone in my family but me is a professional ballroom and Latin dancer. Finally, I鈥檓 learning Welsh, Hindi/Urdu and French 鈥� a strange combo but I鈥檓 a bit of a language and linguistics nerd!
I鈥檓 so excited to work on Access at Univ and get to know everyone 鈥� please do get in touch! Once I鈥檝e settled in 糖心logo, my partner and I will be getting a puppy who I鈥檓 keen to bring into college鈥� keep your eyes peeled!
You can get in touch with Savannah via email Savannah.Phillips@univ.ox.ac.uk 鈥� Find out more about .听
