Election post
Navigating the world of research can often feel isolating. We spend countless hours buried in books, running experiments, analysing data, and writing papers - all while facing the pressures. But research doesn’t have to be a solitary journey. As your Research Students’ Officer, I am committed to fostering a supportive, connected, and thriving research community. Having previously served as a student union officer, I have worked in external affairs, administrative coordination, and project management, successfully bridging the gap between students and institutional bodies.
- Enhancing Well-being: I hope to advocate for better mental health support, social engagement opportunities, and academic well-being initiatives to help no one struggles alone.
- Building a Stronger Research Community: I hope to establish networking events, interdisciplinary discussion forums, and peer support groups to create meaningful connections across faculties.
- Amplifying Your Voice: Your concerns matter. I hope to work to improve communication channels between research students and university administration, ensuring your needs are heard and addressed.
Because I will genuinely and passionately represent you. My goal is not just to hold a title, but to be an advocate, facilitator, and problem-solver for research students. Your challenges are my challenges, and together, we can build a more inclusive, supportive, and empowering research environment.
