Hi LUUWILS! I’m Jie En (better known as Ashley), a first-year Economics and Finance student. A couple of fun facts about me: I’m a huge matcha lover 🍵, a theatre enthusiast 🎭, and I’ve been told I have the energy of an excited puppy!

Why vote for me?
•⁠ ⁠I’m passionate about supporting and uplifting women, and this started back in high school when my team and I led over 100 girls in Girls' Brigade and coordinated state-level events. That experience showed me the power of guidance and community, and I want to bring that same energy to the mentor scheme. With my experience as a Student Ambassador and in leadership roles, I’ll work to make the programme more engaging, supportive, and valuable for everyone involved.

What will I do if elected?
•⁠ ⁠Just like how Smart Works (a charity I have been volunteering for since last October) provides women with the support and confidence to enter/ re-enter the workforce, I will strive to create a mentorship programme that empowers and uplifts. I will strengthen the mentor-mentee experience by facilitating more engaging events, structured support systems, and accessible resources. The end goal is to create a dynamic network where women feel supported, inspired, and confident in their career paths.

I would love to have your vote for Mentor Scheme Coordinator for 2025/26!

WILS has been the highlight of my first year, from making friends at the People Bingo event to volunteering at the Empower Conference 2025. I have enjoyed everything WILS has to offer and am keen to help improve the society next year as the Mentoring Scheme Director 25/26.

This year I had the privilege of being a mentee on the WILS mentoring scheme. My mentor Alys Nichols from EY (one of our sponsors) was able to give me valuable insights and I was able to build a meaningful connection with her. I have been inspired my mentor and I want to ensure others have this experience too!!!

As someone who has experience as a maths & economics mentor and as a WILS mentee, I know what makes the mentoring scheme successful & how to make the most of the scheme.

As mentoring scheme director 25/26, I hope to:

* Increase networking opportunities and increase the number of mentors that are sponsors, through the connections I have made during my various work experiences
* Ensure there are mentors from a diverse range of industries, including marketing, law, finance, engineering & many more
* Provide updates on career opportunities for first years
* Organise socials/activities to help strengthen the relationship between mentee and mentors
* Help mentees establish goals for what they want to achieve from the mentorship scheme & provide support to ensure theses goals are met

Vote Anjola Koyejo for Mentoring scheme director 25/26!!!!
