My goal is to ensure that mature, carers and part‑time students feel fully seen, supported, and represented within the UCL community. I want to create a more inclusive environment where our diverse experiences are recognised, and where practical, emotional, and academic support is easy to access. I also hope to strengthen communication between students and the Union, improve visibility of existing services, and advocate for flexible approaches that reflect real‑life responsibilities. Ultimately, I want every learners to feel confident, connected, and able to thrive at UCL.
I bring extensive frontline welfare experience as a Manager, JNC Youth Worker, and council worker, giving me a strong understanding of benefit systems and the support available to students regardless of background or ability. I offer programme‑design expertise, calm communication, and a solution‑focused approach that empowers individuals to reach their potential. As a mature part‑time postgraduate student balancing study, work, and family life, I bring authentic insight and strong advocacy skills that position me to strengthen welfare support for all mature and part‑time students.
As a mature, part‑time student, parent and welfare professional, I understand student pressures and know how to navigate support systems. I will advocate with authenticity, clarity and care, ensuring mature students, part‑time learners and carers feel supported, represented and included. I’m committed to strengthening access to practical resources, improving communication, and creating a community where our experiences are recognised and valued. My goal is to make UCL more flexible, more responsive and more inclusive for every student balancing study with real‑life responsibilities.
