I work in the Department of Engineering Science, as part of the Teaching Support Group. I teach in various undergraduate labs, as well as supporting research. I have a PhD in mechanical engineering, and understand the pressures that can come with postgraduate as well as undergraduate study.
I am neurodivergent, mixed raced, queer and have lived experience of anxiety and depression. I hope that my experiences can be useful in supporting others going through difficult times. I believe we can all thrive and learn to work with our particular brain chemistry, but sometimes we need support from others.
If you need someone to be that friendly face, or listening ear, you are welcome to contact me directly by email izzi.mear@eng.ox.ac.uk, Microsoft Teams or phone (01865 273040). We can also meet virtually or face to face. Please do not feel any issue is “too small” or “too big”, I am always happy to chat.
