Candidates

Mihaela Dimova (she/her)
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

I bring four years of experience at UCL across undergraduate study, research and now postgraduate study. Having experienced the Faculty as both a student and research staff member, I have seen academic life from different perspectives. As Vice-President of UCL Bulgarian Society, I represented students, organised events and worked with different student communities. I would bring strong communication and organisation skills, but most importantly, a willingness to listen, understand different experiences and make sure students’ priorities are heard.

What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

I want to make sure postgraduate students across Brain Sciences feel that their experiences and priorities are heard in Faculty decision-making. I would focus on building a clear channel between students and Faculty leadership: listening to different perspectives, identifying shared priorities, and representing them constructively. I also hope to strengthen connections between postgraduate students across departments and create more opportunities to share ideas and experiences.

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

I have been part of UCL for four years, experiencing university life as an undergraduate, research staff member and now postgraduate student. Along the way, I’ve met and worked with students as friends, colleagues and peers, and have supervised and supported students in different capacities. This has shown me how varied people’s experiences of UCL can be. I want to listen to those different perspectives, identify shared priorities and make sure they reach the people who can act on them.
