I am passionate about student welfare and committed to fostering a supportive and empowering environment for women at UCL. As part of the Women‘s Students‘ Network, I want to ensure that all members feel heard, valued, and have access to the resources they need.If elected, I will work to enhance awareness of welfare support available to female students, ensuring that no one feels isolated. I also aim to organise initiatives that address academic stress, and well-being, while promoting a strong, inclusive community where women can connect, share experiences, and support each other.
I have engaged in public volunteering since primary school, including fundraising for orphanages and event organisations. In high school, I led an EPQ project, planning and executing an event for 30 participants, strengthening my leadership and teamwork skills. My university lab work has further improved my time management and problem-solving abilities. Working with diverse groups has also enhanced my communication and adaptability. These skills equip me to take on the welfare officer role with confidence, ensuring I can advocate for and support students effectively.
I am a responsible, proactive, and empathetic individual who is committed to supporting and uplifting the voices of women in our community. My experience in event planning, teamwork, and student engagement enables me to organise initiatives that directly address the challenges that female students are facing. I believe that welfare should be accessible, well-communicated, and truly beneficial to all.
If elected, I will work towards ensuring that welfare support is more visible, student concerns are heard, and our community becomes more inclusive and supportive.
A Women's network that prioritises intersectional welfare - women at UCL experience immense pressures. True progress comes from listening to diverse voices, not an agenda shaped by a few.

A team effort - supporting a united and collaborative Women's Network, where student voices work together.
Leadership with a purpose - I believe in action over words. My experience as a Head Pupil taught me that effective leadership is about delegating and setting clear goals. I'm all about turning ideas into results.
Mental health advocacy - Experienced in promoting positive strategies for improved mental health, I've worked with therapists to create tailored well-being resources for students.
Approachable and compassionate - I'm always excited to speak to new people! I'm here to listen and I strive to support a Women's Network where everyone is comfortable, heard, and supported.
