Rachel Checchia

"Hello, I’m Rachel and I am the Wellbeing Advisor for the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical and Engineering Sciences. I have worked with higher education students since 2-14 when I moved to London after a few years of travelling. Prior to working in a university I was a secondary school teacher, which goes to show I have always been drawn to mentoring roles. I joined the Wellbeing team here at King’s in 2021 as I was excited to work with students in a mentoring and coaching capacity to help them reach their goals. Having moved to London from somewhere sunny I know firsthand the struggles of homesickness, loneliness and trying to navigate a new culture. If you’re feeling this way, feel free to book in as it can help to talk about it with someone outside of your family/friends circle.

Outside of work I enjoy being outdoors, travelling, playing the piano and reading."
