S2S Head Mentors
Head Mentors are assigned by school and many support more than one. They may not be in the same course as you, but they've already been Mentors and bring valuable experience, tips, and insight. Many also choose to mentor alongside their Head Mentor role.
They're the first point of contact for Mentors, helping with questions, offering guidance, and making sure mentees have active, welcoming groups. Head Mentors also organise social events for Mentors to connect with each other.
By attending monthly meetings, Head Mentors help keep the S2S office informed about how things are going across all Mentor groups.
Mentors will hear from their Head Mentors before Orientation Week begins, and will be invited to a get-to-know-you event to meet other Mentors and connect with the Head Mentors who'll support them throughout the year.
Meet your Head Mentors
Your Head Mentors are grouped by school areas. Figure out who's your Head Mentor based on what your S2S Mentor Group code is. You can find your group code on Odyssey.

Hi I'm Alannah, a 4th year Geography & Sociology student who is one of the Head Mentors for Business, SSP, and Social Work. I began as an S2S mentor in 2023, and now this year I am really excited to take on the role as Head Mentor! I spend most of my time studying in the campus libraries but when not in college and work, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, playing video games, listening to music and travelling to new places. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

I study Political Science and History, and when I’m not in class or pretending to be productive in a café, I’m singing with the Choir, at a Hist debate, or in House 47. S2S helped me feel settled here, so being a Head Mentor now feels really special. I'm here for mentors and students alike, everyone deserves to feel they belong. Can’t wait to meet you all!

Aviva Rynne Browne (she/her)
Hi everyone! I’m a 4th year medical student and one of the Head Mentors for the School of Medicine. I’m passionate about S2S because being a mentor was really fun and rewarding, and I found the first few weeks of college difficult, so I know how scary it can be to start! My tips for college would be to try new things and to reach out to people! I love reading, writing, walks and trying new foods. Feel free to say hi if you see me around campus, St James’s or Tallaght!

After a year of S2S, I can safely say I loved every minute, whether sharing memes or chatting with mentees. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. As a med student, I know how hard it can be juggling everything from exams to meeting new people, so please feel free to chat with me if you see me lurking around the libraries or hospitals:)

Emilie Wu Zoeyii (she/her)
Hi friends, I'm Emilie and I'm so honoured to be your head mentor this year — which basically means I’m here to help you survive and occasionally cry (just a little) through med school. I'm originally from Malaysia (yes, I do miss the food every day), and when I'm not memorising the coag cascade or pretending I’m totally studying pharm at 2am ;), you’ll probably find me baking something dangerously indulgent :3 I’ve got your back always, reach out anytime!

Promise Okafor (she/her)
My name is Promise and I am one of your head mentors this year. Some things you should know about me is that I am a certified yapper, meaning I can talk for days about anything. Topics that interest me most are definitely topics about the latest shows and movies that have just been released as well as anything video game or marvel related. If you see me on campus, feel free to come up to me and give me ANY show/movie suggestions as I am always looking for something new to watch.

Hey hey! I’m Sandra, your classic General Nursing student powered by 7up and mild panic. As Head Mentor for S2S, I’m here to help you survive college one awkward icebreaker at a time. I promise I only look intimidating when I’m concentrating or hungry. Let’s make this year the most unhinged (but supported) one yet!

Alison Zobenko (she/her)
Hello! I am the girl who can always be found in the s2s room or zooming through campus. You can talk to me about about anything fashion or make-up related, or possibly that I don't particularly like cinnamoroll (I would call us close acquaintances in the photo). S2S has been such a wonderful journey with my friends and everyone I have met along the way. Truly changed my life and I have loved to see how the programme has changed over my 4 years in S2S alone!

Hey! :) I’m a 4th year Human Genetics student. I’ve been a mentor for the past 2 years and I’m excited to start my journey as a head mentor. I love to travel and try new foods. Fun fact about me: I watch most things in 2x speed, sometimes 3x. Feel free to hit me up if you need any Kdrama recommendations! My tip for new students: sign up to all the societies that interest you to meet new people and try new things- I was in 11 in my first year!

Always feel free to come up and chat about anything but beware: I am a yapper and will not hesitate to talk your ear off :D Can't wait to meet you all <3

Hiya! My name is Mimi and I'm one of the Head Mentors for Sciences this year!

I can be easily identified by the crochet leaves on my headphones :). Feel free to reach out to me, I’m here to help!

Hi! My name is Bhadra, and I'm one of the Head Mentors. I joined S2S as a mentor last year, and am so excited about the promotion! As a third-year Law and Business student, you'll probably catch me desperately finishing my readings in the Boland.
