As Welfare Rep, I'll create safe spaces through regular check-ins and accessible support channels that respond quickly. I'll establish clear pathways for reporting concerns with direct action. I'll push for tangible resources: subsidized therapy access, emergency support funds, and practical help navigating university systems. I'll organize peer support networks and wellness events addressing real issues. I'll connect members with mental health services, academic support, and financial assistance. This role is about making welfare accessible and effective - ensuring no member struggles alone.
I've provided direct support as a Student Counsellor in high school, addressing student wellbeing issues firsthand. At Kids Focus Labs, I managed client relations by addressing concerns and providing timely solutions - skills directly applicable to welfare support. I organised workshops and events, coordinating resources and support systems for diverse student needs. I established effective communication channels and created collaborative environments where people felt heard and safe. I don't just sympathise - I take action and ensure people get the help they need when they need it.
Three reasons why you should vote for me:
- BETTER ACCESS - decreasing bureaucratic challenges one issue at a time
- QUICKER RESPONSES - I spot problems quickly and solve them even quicker
- SUPPORT NETWORKS - better safe spaces and a stronger sense of community
VOTE FOR ME IF YOU WANT ACCESSIBLE WELFARE!
I bring empathy, organisation, and experience in community care. I’ve supported friends and peers through activism burnout, family pressure, and the general emotional weight that comes with being visibly political at university. I’m good at listening and noticing when people start to withdraw, and I take initiative in checking in and creating calm where things feel heavy. I’m dependable, grounded, and deeply committed to ensuring that everyone in SJP feels safe, valued, and supported.
I bring experience, empathy, and a strong understanding of our community’s needs. As last year’s SJP Vice President, I worked closely with members to support both the emotional and organisational sides of our activism. I understand the intensity that comes with mobilising around Palestine, especially in the face of institutional pushback, and I’ve learned how to hold space for others while keeping our work sustainable. I’m grounded, approachable, and committed to making sure everyone in SJP feels seen, supported, and cared for.
I understand how important care and community are to sustaining our work. I’ve been involved in organising, mutual aid, and political spaces for several years, and I’ve seen how easily people can burn out or feel isolated when the focus is only on action. I have experience supporting peers through difficult moments, whether that’s academic pressure, activism fatigue, or personal struggles. I’ve learned how to hold space for people in ways that are calm and practical to ensure everyone in SJP feels supported and that our work together remains sustainable.
