Welsh Affairs Officer

Tanwen Moon

 

Tanwen is originally from Drefach, Carmarthenshire, and studied BSc Sport and Exercise Science. As a passionate Welsh speaker, she’s committed to celebrating and strengthening the Welsh language, culture, and identity across all aspects of campus life.

During her time at Swansea, she’s been actively involved with the university’s cheerleading team - Swansea Sirens - where she also served as Social Media Secretary in 2023/24. In her final year, she completed a Sports Science and Therapy internship with Scarlets Rugby, combining her love of rugby, fitness, and wellbeing with academic experience. She also runs her own small sports therapy business, Moon’s Massage.

Outside of university life, Tanwen’s all about balance - whether it’s a walk with her beagle, Bydi, keeping active, or enjoying a boogie in Bambu after a GWA Wednesday! Through her role, she hopes to make Welsh a more visible, natural, and inclusive part of everyday student life - supporting everyone from fluent speakers to enthusiastic learners.

 

 

 

From Your Officer

Tanwen Moon

Mae’n fraint cael cynrychioli myfyrwyr Cymraeg Prifysgol Abertawe. Rwy’n credu y dylai’r Gymraeg fod yn rhan naturiol o fywyd prifysgol - nid rhywbeth ychwanegol, ond rhywbeth sy’n byw ym mhob agwedd o’r profiad myfyrwyr. Fy nod yw creu cyfleoedd go iawn i fyfyrwyr ymgysylltu â’r iaith - drwy ddigwyddiadau cymdeithasol, cefnogaeth academaidd, a’r pethau bychain sy’n gwneud gwahaniaeth mawr. Mae croeso i bawb - boed yn siaradwyr rhugl neu’n dechrau ar eu taith Gymraeg - i fod yn rhan o’r gymuned fywiog rydym yn ei meithrin gyda’n gilydd.

It’s a privilege to represent Welsh students at Swansea University. I believe Welsh should be a natural part of student life - not something extra, but something that lives in every part of the university experience. My goal is to create real opportunities for students to engage with the language - through social events, academic support, and the small everyday moments that make a big difference. Everyone is welcome - whether fluent or just starting their Welsh journey - to be part of the vibrant community we’re building together.
