Prior to this, Yashna worked for the UU Student Development Team, where she co-organised the student wellbeing week(s) November 2023 and subsequently the UU-wide Careers Day 2024.
In 2022, in close collaboration with the Student Wellbeing Team, Yashna also co-created and facilitated the first english-speaking peer support groups for UU students, on the topics of grief and loneliness.
