🌎 Introducing our NEW TEAM LEADS!💫 🚀
Hello IBlievers!
My name is Maanyav, and I’ve taken over the newsletter from Katie and Imogen! Pleased to meet you *virtual handshake*. I’m a Year 2, M22 student in the United States, so I understand all the struggles of the May exams coming up (T-minus 24 days!).
Have I studied? …Yes 👀.
Am I prepared? No. Potentially.

I hope you’ll join me in giving a warm welcome to the new recruits from this onboarding cycle!👏 If you were not given an opportunity to join us, please do consider re-applying in our next recruitment cycle in June. We had over 60 applications, all of which were of an incredibly high standard, so it was quite competitive!
Here’s what you’ll find in today’s newsletter:

Introducing our newest Team Lead recruits and new SEO Assistants! Stay tuned for next week when we introduce our new Team Members!
Communications Lead
Hi all! My name is Maanyav (evidently by the first paragraph of this newsletter) and I’m a Year 2 Student studying in the United States (🇺🇸). I have been a member of IBlieve since August 2020, starting on the Events and Writing teams. Long-time members may recognize me from being in our GVS calls, frantically putting people into Breakout Rooms with Operations Lead Vansh and Teach Lead Sancho:) A bit about me: I’m an avid cook and violinist of 10 years, and I’m passionate about both. Writing is one of my hobbies, and I love finding ways to optimize space. I look forward to embarking on this new journey!
Social Media Leads

Amelia Nykvist
Hi everyone! I’m Amelia and I’m a M22 student studying the IB in Norway (🇳🇴) but I’m actually Australian and German (🇦🇺🇩🇪). This year my role in IBlieve is that of Co-Social Media lead along with Serlina and Matty. You may already recognise me from IBlieve’s Instagram account where I post reels alongside Lucas. In my free time, outside of being an IB student, I really enjoy running, travelling, and trying new experiences. I am really looking forward to my role in IBlieve.
Matthew Ranin
Hi, I am Matthew (not to be mistaken with Matthew Perry)! I am an M22 student from the Philippines (🇵🇭)! I have been in IBlieve since July 2020 and am part of the Social Media Team. I am always very eager to learn new things! Creativity keeps me running (and my coach). During my free time, I like to watch anime and sing a bunch of J-pop songs. When I have the money, I also collect vinyl records as my soul is stuck in the past. I am looking forward to fulfilling this role to the best of my ability!
Podcast Lead
Hi everyone! I’m Allison Choong and I am a Year 1 student studying in the sunny and tropical Penang Island of Malaysia (🇲🇾). I am absolutely looking forward to being the new podcast lead over here at IBlieve! In my free time you can probably catch me jamming out to musicals and doing theatre and journalism. IB has been an incredible journey for me so far and I’m so thrilled to be joining a team of enthusiastic past and present IB students on this platform!
