My name is Reem ElKosseer and I graduated with a first class business & marketing student from the University of Leeds. I am a migrant from Egypt and am passionate about supporting migrants and ethnically marginalised groups at navigating experiences I, and others around me, have experienced ourselves . I started off my career as an adult through research and working with Dr. Iwi to support ethnically marginalised students, and at the same time I joined a mental health organisation where I was trained to support adults in crisis. Through this, I took upon the role of the organisation’s recruitment officer and that helped me attain my role in Volkswagen Group UK, an internationally-renowned car company. I was able to then work with an organisation in Lisbon, Portugal, helping a homeless shelter dedicated to addiction. Through my research and time in Lisbon, I was able to decide what I wanted to pursue in life, but also have an advantage to pursue this.
