Election post
Having faced mental health challenges during my studies and taking three years out before returning to achieve a First-Class Psychology degree, I understand first-hand how vital student representation and wellbeing support are. Overcoming three mental health disorders independently taught me resilience, empathy, and the importance of compassion. These experiences shaped my passion for mental health advocacy and inclusion. As your representative, I will strive to ensure every student in the Faculty of Brain Sciences feels heard, supported, and empowered to reach their potential.
If elected, I aim to strengthen wellbeing support and communication between students and staff, ensuring every postgraduate feels understood, supported, and valued. I want to create a safe, inclusive space where students can speak openly about their challenges and access the right help without fear or stigma. I will advocate for greater mental health awareness, peer support initiatives, and collaboration within the Faculty of Brain Sciences, promoting an environment that empowers all students—academically, emotionally, and personally—to reach their full potential.
Students should vote for me because I know what it feels like to struggle and feel unseen within the university system. I’ve faced mental health challenges that forced me to pause my studies, and I understand first-hand how the system can sometimes fail to support those who need it most. Yet I came back stronger, completing my Psychology degree with First-Class Honours. I want to use that experience to make sure no student feels left behind—to create a community where everyone feels heard, supported, and empowered to succeed, no matter what they’re going through.
