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

In the past, I volunteered as a retail assistant at a charity shop and as a Special needs teaching assistant. Through these, I have developed interpersonal and problem solving skills. I have also spent time raising funds for a cancer research charity where I learnt advocacy and negotiation skills, all of which are necessary in representing students who, like me, belong to the Life Sciences faculty.

Currently, I am the Modelling Coordinator at UCL MODO Fashion society which means I am honing my skills in administrative and interpersonal leadership, which are essential for making positive change.

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

My goal is to make sure every student in the life sciences faculty feels like they have a voice, an avenue to make their voice heard and overall a sense of belonging in the faculty. There are various ways to do this, the easiest being an anonymous social media account where students can express their thoughts and suggestions, in a regulated manner, which would eventually be communicated with academic staff.

Using a combination of skills I've earned over the years, I will be able to effectively make use of student's feedback to make real changes.

Please summarise why students should vote for you.
  • Experience with different groups on campus so I can easily bridge the gap between academic staff and students
  • Fresh perspective from a unique combination of experiences 
  • Potent interpersonal and advocacy skills
  • Commitment to helping others succeed e.g transition mentoring role

  • Good understanding of the importance of building a strong community
