Elected
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
As a NUS Delegate, I will support students in the cost of living crisis and to fight for inclusion. This includes:
- fighting period poverty & promote sustainability in doing so by helping students access reusable period products;
- better prevention of sexual violences and of any form of discrimination through mandatory in-person training sessions for all students and most importantly for societies & clubs committee members;
- better training and prevention regarding eating disorders. It is during uni that people are most likely to developing eating disorders. Policies need to evolve accordingly.
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
Having worked as the Women's Network's Campaigns Rep since 2023, I always consider the impact of my decisions on under-represented communities both by engaging with other people and through thorough academic research.
In addition, my commitment to university life can be seen in my activities: as the Orienteering Club and Veg Soc's Welfare Officer, I am aware of the diversity of voices, opinions & experiences of UCL students, and the need for NUS decisions to reflect those voices.
Lastly, my formal work experience in universities has brought me a better understanding of uni's functionings.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
I am committed to representing all students' interests and in doing so, to put a particular emphasis on mental health, the cost of living crisis, & inclusion. I am open-minded and keen on exchanging ideas, and will work accordingly in order to ensure that the causes I focus on reflect the needs of UCL students.
If I am elected, I will advocate for supporting students through the cost of university (affordable accommodation, better help services for tenants, in particular internationals), for better mental health support in the context of the loneliness epidemic, and for better representation.
