Status
Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
I'll bring previous experience as I was an SVL (Student Voice Leader) for 3 years in my undergraduate as well as an SLA (Student Learning Assistant). As an SVL, I'd liaise between students and staff regarding their concerns and what they would like improved. I'd go out of my way to get to know them, supporting them emotionally and academically in support groups. As an SLA I facilitated learning/teaching in the clinical lab, library or seminars, helping with writing and drug calculation.
I have attended meetings within the department, worked with SU and organised meetings within the cohorts.
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
I hope to integrate the different courses to:
1. Form relationships outside of their specific course
2. Learn from one another and about the different courses
3. Feel supported and know that there is a bigger community outside of their specific course
I hope to achieve a balance. E.g., by arranging informal meetings to offload some stress/worries that arise during the academic year. I will continuously seek the thoughts and opinions of students and share feedback with the team to help improve/change education and make decisions that will benefit staff/students to enhance their experiences.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
Besides my above answers, I am extremely excited and passionate about the well-being of everyone around me. I have an itching and burning desire to inspire, care for, love and support people as I believe that it is one of my purposes.
I am also a qualified professional life coach and have experience in coaching and mentoring people!
My outgoing character and personality make it easy to form relationships and make an impact, whether it is small or big.
Above all, I genuinely just want to make a difference and contribute towards a change with a burst of energy and a sprinkle of hope!
