What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
Debt accrued during higher education has increased substantially during recent years, particularly for international students where countries took a major hit on economic conditions. With the average debt being £45,000 in 2020, a swift initiative must be taken to reduce such costs. For this reason, if elected I would aim to:
- Reimburse part of tuition fees during covid (i.e. no on-campus study).
- Revise fees and loan options for international students.
- Cheaper rents and further availability of accommodation especially in areas such as London.
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
My strongest attribute is my determination. I take on every challenge head-on and do what I need to accomplish my goals, even when the challenge is difficult. Every time I was given a new challenge during my time as a student representative in the sixth form or running programming workshops in my undergraduate years, I always enjoyed stepping up and demonstrating my skill at that new task. An innovative mindset, enthusiasm, and being self-motivated are some qualities that are common between me and what an NUS conference delegate must possess.
