Who are we

Hi everyone! 

We are Lina and Lakshmi, the University Student Money Mentors. We’re really looking forward to helping offer money saving tips and strategies. We will be researching and organising events to try and help you manage your money whether you’re a fresher or on the brink of life after uni. Keep an eye out on the Student Services Instagram for us! 

A bit about us: 

Hi! My name is Lina and I’m a third year Psychology undergraduate student. I’m half Thai and half Korean, but grew up in Thailand. My hobbies include watching TV shows, drawing, and photography! Given my experiences as an international commuter student, I’m so excited to fulfil my role as one of the Money Mentors in order to provide more resources for students who identify similarly to me. I hope that us Money Mentors can become people you turn to for tips about your finances!

Hi, I’m Lakshmi, and I’m currently doing my PhD at the Business School. I also previously studied Management and Philosophy in my undergrad at the university of St Andrews and I’m excited to help students better understand and find opportunities to save on their finances for a smoother experience at university!
