  • Hiruni is currently Features Editor of The Tab Newcastle, where she helps manage the team, edit articles and welcome new writers.
  • Hiruni is passionate about sharing her favourite haunts of the Toon with other students, reporting on important campus news, as well as showing off her incredible Canva skills via @thetabnewcastle's Instagram.

Experience

Hiruni joined The Tab Newcastle in January 2023 as a writer, after being an avid reader and Instagram follower herself. She decided to join the team in hopes of becoming a BNOC, but much to her surprise, this is still a work in progress.

Education

Hiruni attended Heart of England school in her hometown of Coventry, studying Psychology, English Literature and Religious Studies at A Level. She went on to study BSc Psychology at Newcastle University, and is planning to graduate in 2025.
