Expertise

Astronomy fun facts, girls' nights out, good (fiction preferably) reads, overpriced iced coffee, and Jodrell Bank PR (inflicted on innocent bystanders frequently)

  • Ajla is a third year student and a new addition to The Tab writers team.
  • Her writing is best consumed with a sense of humour and an appreciation for news, culture, and anything semi-cheesy
  • The goal is to, regardless of the piece, spark new discussions about pop culture and the student life in Manchester

Experience

Ajla is new to The Tab this academic year, but has been involved with casual writing as a hobby for years! She was editor in chief for the non-profit organisation Sciencious between 2021-2022; the same year where she joined her local paper as a freelance journalist, reporting on culture.

Education

Ajla is a third year physics with astrophysics student on the MPhys course at The University of Manchester (the panic master's was in fact premeditated)
