Francesca Mancuso

I am a two-time graduate of Western University (BHSc., MSc. Health Promotion) who is constantly seeking new opportunities for learning and professional development. My inspiration comes from traveling, volunteering, and connecting with leaders in the community.

As a health promotor, I am passionate about developing research-based programs which focus on social support as a key means to achieving overall wellness. Areas of interest include community-building, international education, cross-cultural transitions, mental health, and client-directed programming.

I am currently working as the Transitions Project Coordinator at the International and Exchange Student Centre (Western University) where my role has included supporting new students and developing new and innovative programs for Western's ethno-culturally diverse community. My professional experience thus far has allowed me to gain important skills in leadership, program planning, public speaking, and research.
