As a Student Representative, Transition Mentor, and Sustainability Ambassador, I have worked with students and staff to solve problems. I am a strong communicator, well organized, and approachable, and I take responsibility seriously.
If elected, I will set up regular student feedback questionnaires to make sure your voice reaches faculty, and I will work with staff and other representatives to find practical solutions.
I will listen, act, and represent you. Please vote for me.
Having been a Chemical Engineering Course Rep this year, I already know how to turn student feedback into something useful. For example, I've helped improve the Engineering Challenges module by gathering feedback from my cohort and working with staff to make it clearer for future years. I have also learned who to speak to and how the department works. As a Faculty Rep, I would bring that experience, alongside being organised, approachable, and optimist! This year, I will also be a Transition Mentor because I want students to feel supported beyond academics!
I want to make Engineering at UCL feel more connected. Unlike other UK unis, we are lucky to have Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, Biomedical and Medical students constantly crossing paths in different modules or projects along the years, and I want students to benefit more from that! I would like to create more opportunities for students across departments to share ideas, and make sure feedback does not disappear after a meeting. I want students to see a real response when they speak up, and to feel that their Faculty is a community rather than just a collection of courses.
I have already occupied this role as a ChemEng course Rep last year, so I know it is more than collecting opinions. It means listening properly, knowing who can help, communicating clearly and following things up. I am organised and persistent when it matters. I've also been awarded the Chemical Engineering Class of 1981 Prize for contributing to cohort spirit which was especially meaningful, and this year, I am the Engineers in Action events Officer, always looking to meet new people! I would bring that same energy to the Faculty, making sure you feel heard, included and represented!
I do not drink, smoke, have TikTok, spend the whole night at bars, or have friends(?). Yes, I am a bit of a nerd – but that also means that I have tons of time to study, read through slides beforehand, and mostly be free to reply. I will be that way anyway, so even if I don’t get elected, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
And yes, and I do love helping others, taking in charge of the Computer Science Club, Robotics Club, and Maths Club, doing some Math Help clinics.
For skills… 3rd in national AI competition, few international robot olympiads, maths AA + chemistry + physics HL 7s… yes…
I want all first years in Mech Eng to dare to pursue their ambitions. They may be naive or childish, trivial or overwhelming, but we want to make something out with our time.
And I believe that this is best achieved if we can share, collaborate, and feedback each other. I want to build a safe failing space where anybody gets to share any ideas and (let’s hope not but) fail using all materials provided at UCL.
The opportunity of being able to be surrounded by like-minded people that sincerely want your success does not come to our lives that often. So let’s use what we have!
I believe any department but mech eng should be represented by nerds. And what I mean by nerds is people who are thrilled about what they learn.
Think about the new things we are going to learn and actually try out in projects we only dreamed of. Think about cars, engines, and rockets designed by you.
At this point I believe everybody would agree that: Any department but mech eng should be represented by genuine interest, affection to knowledge, and thrive for success.
And what I mean by them is, of course, nerds.
I know, I will not be that expert at holding pub crawls, but… teach me please..?
Through my extensive leadership experience as the lead academic representative for the Engineering Foundation Year, I believe it will allow me to provide a unique stance to the faculty as a previous Engineering Foundation Year student. Through this understanding, I will be able to better assist in logistics and academic support.
Within this role, I will support and keep an open channel of communication between faculty members and students; by liaising regularly with both parties, I hope to cultivate and maintain a welcoming environment within the faculty.
Students should vote for me, because I will be a safe place for students (including those of underrepresented backgrounds) to bring forth their challenges and I will liase with the necessary faculty members in order to reduce these challenges. This way, we can ensure students can reflect positively on there experiences at UCL.
- As a Year 1 Biochemical Engineering Student Representative at UCL, I have experience communicating student perspectives and advocating for cohort needs.
- As Head Girl of my high-school's student council, I developed skills in collaboration, problem-solving and representing diverse student voices.
- I can engage confidently with students and staff, listen actively and communicate feedback constructively.
- Through student societies and research projects, I have learnt to take ownership and turn feedback into actionable improvements.
- Advocate for reducing unnecessary group assessments where possible and ensuring fair contributions in collaborative projects.
- Improve the academic experience through better timetabling across UCL Engineering to minimise scheduling conflicts and create a more manageable workload.
- Push for faster assignment turnaround times so students can use feedback effectively in subsequent assessments.
- Gather faculty-wide feedback, raise recurring concerns with staff and follow up on actions to ensure students see meaningful improvements.
- push for reducing lectures in Birkbeck, and if any take place, then they should be recorded properly, and reliable free Wi-Fi should be provided.
- improve communication about career fairs, internships, networking events and opportunities throughout UCL Engineering.
- advocate for better timetabling, faster assignment feedback and less unnecessary group work.
- promote greater awareness of resources such as the Institute of Making and ensure students can make the most of what UCL offers.
- turn student feedback into practical action, making Engineering more accessible, connected and student-focused.
My experience: I am a 2nd year Biomedical Engineering student and also the President of Surgery and Interventional Science Society - there I organise talks and outreach to students and researchers alike.

My interest in engineering began early in my high school’s talent program and led to UCL’s STEaPP, mobilising science and engineering for broader social change. These experiences have taught me that engineering alone isn't enough; it requires collaboration and trust. As our program’s Academic Rep for two years, I voiced students’ concerns, driving tangible learning improvements. Additionally, my placement on the Engineering Professor Council, the voice of engineering academics, empowers me to better advocate for all engineering students at UCL to build a more inclusive faculty community.
If elected, first I will launch more career and entrepreneurship forums. I will bring together all faculty Academic Reps, the Education Officer and the SU Academic Representation Team to identify actionable improvements, closing the information and resource gap between academia and industry. Second, I will bridge student talent with high-value career pathways, turning our academic strengths into tangible professional opportunities. Finally, I will organise faculty-wide social events to strengthen connections across engineering cohorts and build a more supportive, connected student community.
I will turn your idea into tangible action, making sure every voice across the engineering faculty carries weight. I bring hands-on experience delivering large-scale career activities and academic forums, and have contributed to global and digital transformation discussions. In my previous role as a UCL East student officer, I co-piloted the UCL East shuttle bus program and hosted the Chinese New Year red envelope event at UCL East. All my work will be guided by the needs and priorities of engineering faculty students, to build a more connected and supported experience for everyone.
Having grown up in Dubai, I learned four languages, I bring an international perspective and an appreciation for the different experiences students bring to UCL. My experience in high school student government also taught me the importance of communication, collaboration and representing others responsibly. Having already been exposed to a very international environment, I understand that studying in a new country can involve challenges and academics might onto that. I hope to continue meeting and working with people from around the world at UCL and learn from their perspectives.
I hope to make the transition to university-level engineering studies easier and more supportive for students. The jump from school to university is significant for many , with new academic expectations, more independent learning and challenging coursework. I want to help identify where students are struggling and ensure their feedback on teaching, assessments, timetabling and academic support reaches the faculty. By working with representatives and students across different engineering departments and year groups, I hope to contribute to practical improvements that help students succeed.
Students should vote for me because I want to help make sure their university experience reflects their needs, concerns and ambitions. As a first-year Chemical Engineering student, I understand how much there is to adjust to, and I believe every engineering student should have the opportunity to share their experiences and influence improvements within the faculty. I’m eager to work with students and fellow representatives to help make the faculty a place where people can challenge themselves academically while feeling supported throughout their degree.
I'm a Chemical Engineering student and I'm already doing this job at a smaller scale - I'm currently First-Year Course Rep for Chemical Engineering, so I know how to turn scattered feedback into real action. I've also been a UCL Transition Mentor and Women in Tech Executive, so I'm used to listening across different groups, not just my own course, and building trust quickly. My finance and leadership roles, including Ingenium Finance Executive and Women's Network Treasurer, have taught me to stay organised under pressure and follow through on commitments rather than letting them slide.
As a first-year rep, I've seen how disconnected students can feel when feedback disappears into a form and nothing changes. I want to build clearer, more consistent feedback loops across Engineering departments - not just one-off surveys, but regular check-ins with course reps so issues get raised and resolved before they become term-long frustrations. I also want to make sure less-heard groups, like international students, joint honours students and different study modes, are properly represented, not an afterthought, and that students always know what was raised and what happens next.
Because I already do this job, just informally. I've represented my cohort for a year as Course Rep, I understand how UCL's academic structures actually work, and I follow through rather than just attending meetings for the sake of it. Between my course rep, mentoring and society leadership experience, I know how to listen properly, identify shared priorities, and push them to the people who can act. Vote for me if you want an Engineering Faculty Rep who genuinely listens and gets things done, not just someone with a good manifesto and nothing behind it.
I will bring practical experience in student representation, strong communication skills and a persistent, student-focused approach. As a Class Representative last year, I collected and analysed student feedback and presented it at Student Partnership Committee meetings, contributing to improvements in the clarity of learning materials, feedback and communication. As a former Student Council President, I represented students in meetings with senior staff. I am approachable and reliable, and I enjoy listening to different perspectives and working collaboratively to find practical solutions.
I really hope to establish an effective and accessible system for gathering student feedback across the Faculty, using both online forms and opportunities for students to share their concerns and suggestions in person. I would pay particular attention to helpful resources, clear assessment instructions and timely and useful feedback. I want to make sure that students from different departments and campuses have an equal opportunity to make their voices heard. I would also aim to keep students informed of how their feedback is being addressed and what outcomes follow.
I genuinely care about making sure students feel heard and their feedback is taken seriously. I will work to ensure their views reach the relevant staff and help bring about meaningful improvements. Whether positive or negative, any feedback should be acknowledged, communicated and acted upon as much as possible. I am willing to take initiative and raise issues that might otherwise be overlooked, and work with staff to identify effective ways to address them. I am ready to dedicate my time and effort to the role and work proactively to bring about positive changes across the faculty.
As an engineering undergraduate, I know the daily strain of stacked deadlines, crowded facilities, and slow faculty bureaucracy. I bring operational discipline, not empty rhetoric. As a quartermaster managing logistics for events, I know how to deliver under pressure and fix practical bottlenecks. Through competitive debate, I have learned to scrutinise policy and negotiate firmly with decision-makers. Fluent in English, Arabic, and French, I will connect authentically across our diverse cohort, ensuring student concerns are met with measurable faculty action.
I will deliver three concrete fixes. First, end assessment bunching by confronting departments that stack major coursework deadlines on the same week. Second, expand access to technical spaces, pushing for extended workshop hours, reliable software, and fairer equipment booking. Third, enforce total transparency: after every faculty board, I will publish concise, unvarnished breakdowns of what staff approved, delayed, or rejected. No corporate banality, just relentless pressure on leadership to fix the daily frictions in our degree.
I’m not a polished politician looking for a CV badge. Like you, I live the daily engineering grind with the stacked deadlines, packed study spaces, and burnt-out weeks. Understanding the struggle isn't enough. You need someone who actually gets things done. My background in logistics and debate means I don’t just nod along in boardrooms; I negotiate, organise, and hold faculty accountable. Vote for a peer who stays grounded, listens to you, and has the backbone to fight for practical results.
I have spent a year as Year 1 Departmental Representative for over 300 Mechanical Engineering students, so I already know how the department works and where students get stuck. When timetable clashes left some students with no time for lunch, I gathered their feedback, took it to the department, and a roundtable meeting fixed it. This year I am also a Transition Mentor for new students, and I was a Student Ambassador in my accommodation. I listen carefully, see things through, and would love to keep doing that with a full year of experience behind me. Please give me the chance
I want students to be heard and to find help early. I would like to build on the online group I started so coursework questions get answered faster. Last year the timetable clashes and missing lunch breaks were fixed once a roundtable brought reps and staff together, and I want to make that kind of meeting a regular habit so feedback leads to visible change. I also want better support for new and international students in their first weeks, using what I learned as a mentor, so nobody feels lost in their first term. I will be easy to reach, quick to reply and always ready to listen.
Experience is my biggest strength. As Year 1 Representative I spoke for 300+ students, brought their timetable concerns to the department, and started an online Mechanical Engineering group for coursework help. As a Transition Mentor and accommodation Student Ambassador, I work with international students regularly. This summer I was a technical coordinator for Hill Group on a building site, which taught me to communicate clearly between people with different priorities and to get things done under pressure. I am organised, approachable and reliable, and I enjoy solving problems for people.
