Status
Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
  • I have been on the committee of The Cheese Grater for two years, having served as Editor-in-Chief last year. I have a track record of student media advocacy in this position, and I have opened lines of communication with the SU to achieve greater attention to our community already. 
  • I worked at the IOE over the Summer where I was researching the history of student life at UCL for the GenerationUCL project. I had a specific focus on student media whilst researching and I am confident that my work can be of substantive use in policy advocacy for the student media community if I were to be elected
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

In this role I wish to achieve:

  • The implementation of cheaper printing options for all publications, be this bulk printing with the SU or a place on campus for publications to be printed  
  • Physical bins, like the ones for the Evening Standard, for the use of student publications
  • Greater training and event opportunities for all media societies
  • Greater coherence between media societies via coordination over socials and events hosted by the SU
  • Greater spotlight in the Student Life Strategy on student media to facilitate equitable funding to our community as a means of facilitating regular student news
Please summarise why students should vote for you.

Reasons to vote for me:

  • I am passionate about student media, having advocated in the past (through my role as EIC at The Cheese Grater and my work at the IOE) for policies to help our community
  • I believe that a strong student media media presence is crucial to the health of our university's democracy, and I would continue to advocate for better funding for the media to keep institutional actors to account
  • Student media is also essential to the creation of a vibrant and cohesive student community, and I would do all in my power to facilitate this
