Elected
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
An active engagement between the students and the union is crucial in making policy decisions. I will be the direct means of communication between the students and the Trustee Board.
I will ensure that our community is a safe and comfortable place for all. If there are issues for the students that prevent this, I will stand up for them.
Honesty, openness, and integrity. As a current liberation officer, I value diversity and respect within the community by preserving integrity. I will be honest with the students and the union, and I won't tolerate any behaviour that diminishes one’s dignity.
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
As the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) students’ officer, I have been an active participant in shaping the student experience at UCL. So, I am aware of the basic administrative process in the union. I have been representing BME students’ interests in zone meetings and Union Executive meetings for the past months, which I have enjoyed doing. Last December, I changed the name of the BME network to the People Of Colour (POC) students’ network based on student opinion. My core values lie in bringing student voices to union meetings and making impartial yet insightful decisions for the students.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
Being a students' officer taught me to be a good representative and a leader. Furthermore, I work with the union, so I am familiar with its system and environment. Most importantly, I have been part of the process that integrated students' voices into union governance. Therefore, I believe that UCL students can directly shape their own community, and I am ready to commit more to this process as a Trustee.
I put my trust in you for the future of the union. And I want you to trust me in shaping our future together. I know what I am doing. I will ensure that the role achieves what it aims to do.
