Hi, I’m Ahsan Abbas. I am studying a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I am serving as a Cultural Ambassador and a Hub Assistant this academic year.

Annet Masinde

Student Hub Assistant

Hi, I’m Annet! I wear a few hats here at Richmond — Peer Tutor, Cultural Ambassador and Student Hub Assistant — but the thread running through all of them is the same: I genuinely care about making your experience here as smooth, supported, and enjoyable as possible. Whether you need academic guidance and a safe space to ask questions without judgement, someone to help you feel seen and celebrated within our beautifully diverse community, a friendly face at the Student Hub to point you in the right direction, or a reliable presence in your residence when university life feels a little overwhelming, I am here for all of it. I have been in your shoes — navigating a new environment, new expectations, and new people — and I want to be the person I wished I had when I first arrived. My door, both literally and figuratively, is always open!

Adia Ida-Michaels

Student Hub Assistant

Hi I’m Adia. I am a 3rd year student studying a BA in Psychology. I really enjoy creating welcoming environments where everyone feels valued. I enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and helping others feel settled, whether that’s answering questions, pointing you in the right direction, or maybe just being someone you can talk to. I’m always happy to help, so don’t hesitate to say hello if you see me around campus!
