When I joined Kickboxing this year I was really nervous. I had never done a sport like this and I didn't know anyone in the club - it felt far out of my comfort zone. However, it was such a safe and fun space and I felt super comfortable, and have continued to feel safe as part of this society! As Welfare Officer, I would want to help maintain that atmosphere and make sure that Kickboxing Society is a safe, inclusive, and fun space. In addition, I think ensuring dicussion and compassion in a society is critical to ensure that everyone feels comfortable. I'm also standing because I strongly believe everyone should be able to pursue activities, hobbies, and sport in spaces that empower them and make them feel safe. It's so important for mental health, and as a Psychology student, hoping to go into therapy as a career, something I'm passionate about facilitating!
