Mariam Vekua

Hi all! My name is Mariam and I am a first year HPE student. As welfare officer, I would aim to:

- promote inclusivity by making SSEES society a welcoming environment for students of diverse backgrounds. 

- increase social activity by organising more social wellbeing events using the available additional UCL welfare funding. I believe this could have a positive impact on the students' mental health, which is my main priority. 

I have experience of being an academic representative, which made me aware of the various issues students face regarding their mental health and wellbeing. This experience has also helped me develop communication, sensitivity and conflict management skills. I believe these make me a suitable candidate to be your next welfare officer.

Thank you for reading my manifesto! Feel free to ask me any questions about it by contacting me at [email protected].
