What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

I want to build a vibrant Sports community here at UCL. I believe that every sports club should be given the platform to showcase the craft that they cherish and share their love for their sport with the rest of the student population. University-wide events and initiatives, from Sports Nights to Varsity, should be thematically focused on cultivating club identities and cultures. I hope for an energetic and welcoming community that invites everyone to give their respective sports a shot, that are interconnected and inclusive despite being scattered across various venues.

What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

As a first-year and having just concluded my BUCS season with the M1 Volleyball Team, the short time with TeamUCL gave me a good understanding of the untapped potential of TeamUCL as the key outfit connecting all the teams together and champion for sports for all. I am deeply motivated and enthusiastic about drawing up fresh and innovative solutions during my term, that will be aided by the diverse skillsets I have honed over the years in various leadership roles in the workplace, school and the military. I believe I can bring to the role a balance of calm judgement and bold initiative.

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

I'm going in with the desire to try new things, push for bold initiatives and challenge the status quo for the benefit of you guys. Despite my relatively short time here, I can confidently say that I am proud to be a UCL student and a UCL athlete, and I hope that everyone can share this same pride as I have. 

UCL is celebrating its 200th birthday in 2026. What do you think UCL will look like in 200 years time?

A way more technologically advanced UCL, but also a UCL that still holds on to its ethos of openness and inclusivity. A UCL where sport is a vibrant part of student life, where people look forward to watching and supporting various competitive matches, pack out Varsity fixtures, dance the night away at Scala Sports Nights, and spend sunny afternoons playing grass volleyball or frisbee at the parks. Even as the university evolves, that sense of community, energy, and shared passion for sport will still be what brings students together.
