Hey there! I'm Mihini, a fourth-year undergrad studying Economics at UofG. I was born in Dubai, UAE and moved to Qatar when I was nine, although I am originally from Sri Lanka. As an international student, I know how daunting moving to a different country and starting university can be and hopefully, UniBuddy will help ease some of that stress. I hope to answer any questions you may have about the university and my experiences and I'll get back to you as soon as possible!

Hey there!
I’m Temwani – great to meet you!
I’m a second-year international student at the University of Essex (Colchester Campus), originally from the vibrant country of Zambia. My educational journey has taken me across Southern Africa, with my O Levels in Zimbabwe and A Levels in South Africa, giving me a rich and diverse perspective both inside and outside the classroom.
Beyond my academics, I’m passionate about sports, fitness, wellness, entrepreneurship, and community engagement—I believe in living a balanced life and giving back to those around me. I currently live off-campus, which has given me the chance to explore the local community and meet people from all walks of life.
My academic interests lie in economics, finance, and business advisory, where I aspire to build a fulfilling career that makes a real impact. I’m always eager to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals.
