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

Last year, I served as faculty rep for UG medical sciences in a job-share to represent both clinical and non-clinical students.

As faculty rep, I strived to ensure the needs and concerns of students within the faculty of medicine were being addressed - fought for fairness, in-person teaching and transparency. Recently, I worked with the faculty to develop a common room and helped develop the new dissertation allocation system.

As an incoming third-year and senior mentor, I understand the challenges faced and will be in a prime position to hear about those directly from students.

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

Through this role, I want to keep working on making sure that all student voices are heard.

My key objectives are to continue encouraging:

  • Transparent communication and feedback
  • Inter and intradepartmental communication
  • Academic, Departmental and Faculty wide initiatives – working with the IMS society and student representatives

I'll also keep pushing for better EC/SORA pathways and SSW access.

Of course, I’ll also stay on my toes and will be ready to tackle and find solutions for any possible challenges to be faced this coming year as we shift to fully in-person classes.

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

To summarise, I am highly experienced as I have already served in this role previously. Actions speak louder than words and although most of the work of a faculty rep happens behind the scenes, I hope that these few examples of achievements made by myself and the medical faculty rep team this year can stand as proof of those actions.

I would love to hear from all of you. Please feel free to contact me to share any ideas you have to improve student experience within the faculty and UCL as a whole: [email protected]
