L.J.Selsby@lse.ac.ukHi, my names is Isolde. I am a BSc International Social and Public Policy student from Germany. I enjoy being part of the campus community and forming meaningful connections.

I love sports: I do frisbee, water-polo and jujutsu at the LSE and I get around London by bicycle. I grew up first in Wimbledon then in the South of France, I went to secondary school in Hertfordshire, sixth form in Cambridge, and spent my gap year teaching English in Madrid. Although I can barely play the guitar or sing, I do both when I'm tired of studying and sometimes play on the piano at King's Cross Station when I'm feeling confident.?N.Crawford@lse.ac.ukHi, my name is Hannah, I’m from Scotland and I’m studying management.

I look forward to meeting you – do get in touch if you would like to talk about anything at all.O.M.Daniels@lse.ac.ukHi! My name is Rahul, I’m a third-year BSc Finance student from Australia. My first year, living at Carr Saunders, taught me that LSE can be a really fun, friendly and enjoyable place but not without its challenges. Being an international student, I know what it’s like to live in a new city far away from home. Last year I was in Rosebery Hall, and this year I'll be living off campus. While LSE has felt like a welcoming place for me, I know that from time to time we all feel stressed, tired or a bit down. Talking to someone really helps, and hopefully I could be the right person for you, so do get in touch if you want to talk about anything.R.Karri@lse.ac.uk Hi! My name is Dana. I am third year Financial Maths and Stats student. I was born in Kazakhstan but I have lived in London for the last 3 years, and this is my second year as a peer supporter. My hobbies are hiking and swimming. As an international student I have experienced homesickness and culture shock myself, so I can relate to that. Life at LSE can be quite challenging, so it is great sometimes to find support on campus. Peer supporters are a great way to find trustworthy and confidential help for anything you would like to talk about. I hope it will be useful for you; feel free to contact me if you fancy a chat. You also can find me on campus or just drop an email :)a.nurgaliyeva@lse.ac.ukHi everyone! My name is Maria and I am currently a PhD student in the Economics department. I am Italian, but I moved to London in 2016, when I first started studying at the LSE as a MSc student.?As an international student, I have lived many of the struggles that come with moving to a new country and adapt to new a new environment, especially when the latter is incredibly challenging under so many aspects, as the LSE often is. Nevertheless, talking all of this through with friends, classmates and other peers is what most of the times really made a difference.?Now more than ever, as we are asked to (physically) keep distance from others, dealing with these things by yourself might feel daunting. But the good news is that there is a community to support you and, whatever the issue might be, you are not alone. If you feel like you would like to chat, please do get in touch!M.Ventura@lse.ac.uk My name is Isaac Haruna Ziaba. I am Ghanaian and a third year PhD candidate with the International Development Department. Studying in a top-class university like the LSE can be very challenging and stressful given the loads of academic and non-academic events that students are explicitly and implicitly motivated to participate in. Yet our widely varying academic and cultural backgrounds could have bearings on the way we are able to navigate the stress, pressure, anxiety and other related and unrelated issues laden in a competitive academic environment here at the LSE. Having received cutting-edge training on peer support, I am willing to listen to any uncertainties and anxieties regarding students’ studies, relationships, future or other issues in a non-judgemental and impartial manner and help them explore possible solutions to these challenges.I can be reached via the following means for any appointment(s) on peer support:Email: i.haruna@lse.ac.ukPhone: +44 (0) 77220481Skype: Isaac.haruna1Hello everyone, my name is Xinyi Xu and I’m currently a second year PhD student in the Maths department. I am originally from China and did both my undergraduate and master here in London, at UCL. I’ve also spent one year abroad to Toronto during my undergraduate. Despite the fact that I am doing mathematics, I’m also interested in art-related stuff including piano, origami, graphic design and etc. Whenever you want to find someone to talk with or just feel needed, please drop me an email and I’m here to help.X.Xu46@lse.ac.uk ................
