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

As a Social Mobility and Class Officer, I will champion the needs and aspiration of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. while fostering a more inclusive and equitable environment within UCL, ensuring that these students have equal access to resources, opportunities, and support. I will persuade key decision makers to address the unique challenges faced by these students, such as financial barriers.

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

I am a passionate advocate for the needs and concerns of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, myself being one of them. Being a student on a scholarship, I deeply understand the challenges faced by these students as I have firsthand information right from my experiences of striving to access education financing as a student from an underprivileged background. I will therefore tirelessly advocate for their needs and concerns within the Union and collaborate with other officers to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all  regardless of their socioeconomic status in UCL.
