Elected
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
Over the past 2 years NUS has been wonderfully committed to the fight for liberated and demarketized education, standing in solidarity with UCU strike action and culminating in the recent NUS Student Strike that protested the unequal treatment of student and workers alike by money-hungry institutions that universities have become. If elected as a NUS delegate, I will vote for this comitment to continue, so that NUS can continue to fight for the students' right to free, accessible and caring university.
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
I have extensive experience in grassroots organising, especially in the area of LGBTQ+ rights activism. At UCL, I've been involved in multiple student organising campaings at UCL, including the UCL Vote Yes campaign for the SU to support the striking staff and the recent protests and trans rights campaigning to rejoin Stonewall. I've also held a variety of representative roles such as Women’s Rep for the LGBTQ+ Student’s Network, as well as Course Rep and LGBTQ+ Rep in my departmental EDI Comittee.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
I have a bold vision for what a radically caring university could look like and the determination and pragmatism to envisage a steps to achieve this. I'd be a critical and considerate voice in a delegation.
