Nell Slattery

Mentor to first-year female engineering students, supporting their transition into university life. I share my experiences and insights to help them navigate academic challenges, build confidence, and make the most of their university journey. Through regular coffee chats and social activities, I foster a supportive environment where they can ask questions and connect with peers. As part of this program, I also receive mentorship from an industry professional, allowing me to gain valuable perspectives that I pass on to my mentees—helping them prepare for both university and their future careers.

Selected as part of a student-led committee to design and deliver a Biomedical Engineering event funded by the Faculty of Engineering’s Student Life Grant. This initiative aims to strengthen community, engagement, and student experience within the BME cohort.
