Hello everyone! As your hall rep, my number one priority would be to create and maintain living conditions that promote your well-being. I think the best way to accomplish this is to set up and online form where you can submit your complaints or suggestions for our accommodation at any time. With this system you can submit request whenever it is convenient for you and won’t have to worry about finding the time to meet with your representative. I will take every complaint/suggestion seriously and advocate on your behalf to our administration.

I’m studying for my masters in global health and development, so I have an academic understanding on how your living conditions impact your health and happiness. Because of this, I have the tools necessary to understand our accommodation issues and create an argument backed by research to get them fixed by our administration. I also have experience working in student government and serving as a club president during my undergraduate degree, so I am confident in my abilities to work with students and faculty.

We have had a difficult couple of months - it has been incredibly lonely, and the whole situation is just not ideal.
I am a londoner myself so I can act as a tour guide and provide some tricks and tips - how to stay safe, where to eat/shop, best attractions etc.
If there is a problem that needs to be addressed, I will be determined to speak with the relevant people to solve the issue as soon as possible.
I can be a shoulder to cry on and help to deal with homesickness, stress, and heartbreak.
We need to fix the last couple of months and have the uni experience!
