About Me
Hi! I’m Maya Fenyk, a fourth-year International Relations and Sustainable Development student. As your Arts and Divinity Faculty President, I’m passionate about making sure student voices are not just heard, but truly shape how our schools grow and improve. I love bringing people together to create spaces where everyone can thrive academically and personally! My journey here has taken me through leadership roles, research projects, and plenty of community initiatives—from co-editing an academic journal and coordinating international education programmes, to representing student perspectives as an ambassador and society president. So I’m especially excited to bring my experience to the role and build stronger links across Arts and Divinity and the rest of the school so we can share ideas, resources, and opportunities. When I’m not in the library or in a meeting, you’ll probably find me enjoying a cup of coffee from Palompo's!
