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

Hi I’m Nasha! I’m originally from Karachi, Pakistan but I did my undergraduate degree in History and Politics at the University of Edinburgh. I'm currently doing a Secondary PGCE in History at the IOE. 

I've been a Welcome Week ambassador twice (at Edin), worked alongside international students as a proofreader and mentor, and tutored SEN-D students. I want to understand the various needs of our diverse cohort, and will strongly advocate for current and future students. 

I aim 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?

As Faculty Rep for 24/25, I have 3 goals

  1. Create greater cross-subject interaction: using PGT course reps as a point of contact, I'd like to encourage collaboration between students on all IOE courses by organising more PGT socials, encouraging the use of Moodle/Whatsapp groups and creating dedicated social spaces at the IOE campus 
  2. Foster better engagement with faculty: I will listen to your feedback and be honest with faculty about the pros and cons of tutorials and seminars (so don't hold back!)
  3. Ensure UCL follows through on their promise to set up microwaves around IOE and introduce kettles as well
Please summarise why students should vote for you.

Energise. Empower. Enable.

These three words summarise the type of rep I want to be.  

  • I'm proactive and make sure to deliver on any promises I make (without overpromising!) 
  • I prioritise mental health and well-being and understand that everyone has specific needs; I will work hard to make sure those are taken into account 
  • I always keep an open mind to critique and welcome change
  • I believe that a good Faculty Rep empowers every student - I promise to use this platform fairly and give voice to all opinions and beliefs
