What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
I would like to firstly connect myself and the whole student community living in James Lighthill Hall to make sure I could know well about students’ current accommodation life and help improve it in time. Additionally, bridging the gap between James Lighthill student community and the UCL accommodation team is also important, which ensures that all the potential problems for students are resolved and accommodation life for students are enjoyable. Lastly, I would help connect the student community to facilitate a helping and inclusive living environment!
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
Back to my senior high school life, I was appointed as the dormitory rep and did a quite good job. I helped resolve conflicts between roommates and communicate with dormitory staff to seek for solutions regarding students’ living problems. Basically, this previous experience of being dormitory rep would make me a qualified Hall Rep.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
As an international student, I am totally aware of possible challenges we may face during dormitory life, so I would be a considerate Hall Rep caring about every aspect of Hall life that students may not be comfortable with. Also, I am an outgoing and talkable person, so if I could be the Hall Rep, you could always have someone to talk to whenever you feel bad about anything. Just come and have a chat with me! I would also hold socialising or other kinds of activities during weekends and holidays for students to have more chances to meet new people in this Hall and have fun besides schoolwork.

What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
I wish to make James Lighthill House a more inclusive and relaxing place. If I am elected, I would collaborate with hall ambassadors to make sure that flourishing events are “really flourishing”. I would also make sure that washing/ drying machines would be fixed effectively and efficiently, instead of being neglected for more than a week. I also hope to bring up the issue that it’s inhumane for students living in our dorm to attend 9 am lectures. Lastly, I would use my role as a hall rep to pressurise UCL to buy us new computers as the ones we have are ridiculously slow.
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
I have experiences in MUN and other international student organisations (such as AIESEC), hence I am confident in cooperating with different stakeholders while solving problems. If you want, I can brag a long list about how “special” I am. But more importantly, because I am not special, I understand what everyone of us living in James Lighthill House needs ,which I think, is the most important thing a hall rep should possess.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
Simply because we live in James Lighthill together, I understand what’s the problem in here, and I am willing to use my extremely precious time to contribute back to the dorm.
