Status
Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
I bring a wealth of experience in student engagement and advocacy. My involvement with the welcome team and the student union has given me valuable insights into the needs and concerns of our student community. This experience has equipped me with the skills to effectively represent and support the interests of our doctoral student body. Besides, my academic pursuits of promoting inclusion align closely with the UCL’s commitment. Becoming a Rep would give me a unique platform to share my knowledge and experiences and foster a diverse and supportive environment.
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
I will actively work to make IOE a true home for doctoral students. I will advocate for practical improvements such as securing more dedicated spaces, like microwave facilities and additional areas for discussion and study. Furthermore, I found limited chances to meet with peers and have deep conversations. I will use the room provided by the IoE helpdesk to organize various events such as mental health support, reading groups and lunch social talks. My vision is to create a vibrant academic and social community that fosters collaboration, learning, and networking among doctoral students.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
In essence, I will bring a distinctive blend of experience and a well-defined vision to enrich the doctoral student experience at IOE. Students' vote for me signifies support for a committed candidate focused on fortifying both the academic and social aspects of our community, ultimately striving to make IOE the optimal environment for our doctoral studies. This year, anticipate more than just warming food in the microwave; expect a dynamic and cutting-edge approach to doctoral life and information.
