Please summarise why students should vote for you.
Working with Camden Council and London Mayor's Office has prompted my realization that every stakeholder is inherently vital to the constitutive function of the developed policy.
When elected as Education officer, there was an ingrained gap within UCL's policy making, where students served as consultants rather than key stakeholders working in tandem. I was able to transform UCL's appraisal of student input by redefining student-staff partnerships and restructuring the Education Zone. I hope to keep enacting sustainable improvisations into existing structures and implementing change for all.
