My experience and passion within this sector has made me truly motivated to step into this leadership role and ensure the work of Student Minds continues to support our diverse student communities at a time when mental health and wellbeing support is more important than ever. I look forward to representing the organisation through authentic leadership and compassionate decision-making. To Rosie and the Board, thank you so much for putting your faith in me, I look forward to exceeding your expectations!” About the appointment, Rosie added “I am so pleased to have handed over to Yeme, a values-led leader with real commitment to our cause.
