Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
I have worked with different charities in the past that have allowed me empathise well with others, and also has helped me have an understanding of the unique needs and challenges faced by different communities. As vice president of a society in my sixth-form, I have experience in catering to people’s needs in a practical manner, and skills in problem solving. I am currently a psychology student as well, meaning I truly have an interest in wellbeing and I understand the importance of listening to my peers and their needs, and doing the most I can to help everyone be comfortable and accessible!
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
Primarily as welfare officer, I want to ensure that there is a good support system in place for us. I understand that we’re quite a small department, but that doesn’t mean our voices don’t matter! It is so important that everyone’s voices are heard, and take each and every concern I receive very seriously.
I also will make clearer the many services that are already available to us as students, but also if there are specific services that you want but aren’t offered, I will bring awareness to this and personally help I’m any way I can.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
I am a Muslim POC, so I personally do understand the importance and relevance of inclusivity. I want everyone to feel that they have somewhere to go for their issues, and I am open to opinions and ideas from everyone, and will ensure it’s heard by people who can really make a difference. I’m also great at listening to your problems (I’ve been called the therapist friend a lot!), and can give advice, or refer you to somewhere that can help.
