What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

electric chair for anyone who suggests a threesome after hearing ur identity.

ok fr tho, there is a very serious lack of support for us at UCL. we need more inclusivity and fun events for the girls, gays and theys- we are seriously suffering. BUT, it does get additionally lonely being bisexual and feeling like you don't belong. One fun night out in Heaven or Glittoris is not gonna solve the problems we encounter everyday.

I want to do my part making sure my people are supported and safe and know where to come if they encounter any issues.

What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

boring stuff:

Until September 2022, I was living in 1984 (openly queer person in an Islamic country)

I have a lot of experience defending myself and developed myself with a lot of lawyer skills during this time. (also i am entp and love debating so this is fun for me)

the tea:

  • i can rap any megan or nicki song by heart.
  • i am on good terms w all my ex-girlfriends. 
  • i love frogs.
  • i juggle
  • straight girls use me as a decoy girlfriend to avoid creepy men 
  • i was the gay awakening of a bride at a bachelorette party (and potentially saved them from a divorce in the future) 

 

 

 

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

after being outed in the lift during freshers by a girl I swiped left on Tinder (real), I had no choice but to embrace the consequences of losing my luck with the catholic boys :( 

if you vote for me, you'll be saving me and others from our misery BUT MOSTLY IMPORTANTLY, you'll be voting for a woman in STEM (i promise to not be like maggie)

i have visions of uniting the barbs and cardi b fans and making UCL slay again.

What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

I want to use my platform to raise awareness about issues that affect bisexual/pansexual students on campus, such as bi/panphobia, invisibility, and erasure. I want to use my position to raise awareness about the unique experiences of bi/pan students. Providing resources and support to help bi/pan students connect with each other and find community both on and off campus is another one of my objectives.

What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

I have held multiple leadership positions in high school in the student council that include brainstorming for and setting up events. Leading large groups of people in my school magazine and an online student publication,  I have learned to work with people to delegate tasks, set realistic deadlines and multitask efficiently. When it comes to things I am passionate about, I am very hardworking, and I am very excited to bring a fresh perspective to the table. I have a keen eye for detail and the ability to look at problems in order to find innovative solutions.

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

Though UCL is a very diverse university, bi/pansexual students struggle to fit in. I understand the unique challenges students face related to their identities, and I think I can do a good job communicating with them in network events. As the LGBT+ Network’s bi/pan representative I plan to make sure that the bi/pan students feel like their concerns are being heard, and their identities are being celebrated.
