What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
For international students, moving abroad can be a scary experience. I should know because I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions myself. As a hall rep, I would do my best to make every resident feel included and safe in this new environment that is to be called home for the next year. More than just organizing events, as someone with Psychological First Aid training, I'd like to provide a safe space for residents to confide in and ensure their optimal wellbeing.
For me, being a hall rep is more than just a position, and I value this incredible opportunity to create meaningful impact.
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
Having widespread experience in my prior full-time role managing stakeholder relations and client satisfaction, I am extremely comfortable to be in a front-facing position; listening to residents' concerns and ensuring that their needs are being met. I am also bubbly and very approachable! A friendly demeanor such as this shall put students at ease and eliminate further hesitancies in voicing their concerns.
As an avid volunteer during my undergraduate years, I have garnered strong organizational skills and therefore am very adept in conducting activities that foster a strong communal bond.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
'What does home feel like to you?'

Be it expressing your concerns, feelings of homesickness or needing a safe space to confide in, I can assure you that you can approach me as a reliable point of contact to address these issues effectively.
University is not just a place where you grow academically but also personally, and I'd like to do my best in supporting you however I can... Here's to our amazing journey together!
