As a member of RUMS Tennis since day 1, I can honestly say it’s played such a huge role in my university experience. I’ve managed to hit a few balls over the net from time-to-time (if they land in is a different story), I’ve made such good friends (not you Abs) and just had an amazing time. I love everything about the club and would love to lead it next year if given the opportunity.

After the presidency of Laurie, I’ve got big shoes to fill. As treasurer this year, I got the opportunity to understand what it takes to lead this club, compassion, patience and most importantly, a lack of tennis ability. I think I’ve got what it takes. 

But on a serious note, I am very interested in organising more charity events like our 24-hour tennis match (big up Kev) and potentially collaborating with other societies, both RUMS and UCL, to try and poach freshers. 

If elected, working with our social secs, I will make sure an international tour happens next year (as long as a new pandemic doesn’t pop up). It’s something I’ve never experienced in university, and I think it will be a great opportunity to go away, forget about our work for a bit and just relax. 

I would love the opportunity to give back to the club in the same way it’s given to me, and hopefully give other people the incredible experience I’ve had.
