On Volume 2 of Student Life Radio, you'll hear from Ali Alajeeli, a recent graduate of UEL who is currently working as a Stage Manager as part of the UEL Graduate Employment Scheme, and Milo Osun-Benjamin, this episode's host. Ali and Milo will discuss Ali's journey, the concept of Ikigai, and how they've found and nurtured their sense of purpose.

Ali is a London-based photographer, cinematographer and writer-director for film. His juxtaposition between light and shadow in film style punctuates his signature style. Ali believes photos are metaphors, making the abstract concrete and mystifying the mundane. Learn more about Ali on his website.
