Election post
I can bring a perspective shaped by growing up in a low-income area of South London and understanding that students do not all start from the same position. Financial pressure, limited guidance and not always having people around you who understand university can make opportunities harder to navigate. At UCL, I have realised that even with so many opportunities available, it can be overwhelming knowing where to start. I would bring an honest, relatable voice, listen to students who may not always speak up and help turn their concerns into practical change.
If elected, I want to help students make the most of what UCL has to offer. There are so many opportunities that it can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you are new and do not know where to start. I want to help provide more direction by making opportunities easier to find, understand and access. I also want students to feel comfortable raising concerns and knowing that their voice is being heard. Ultimately, I want students, especially those without strong networks or guidance, to feel more confident navigating UCL and leave knowing they made the most of their experience.
Students should vote for me because I want to be a Student Officer who is approachable, honest and actually listens. Coming from a low-income area of South London, I understand that not everyone starts with the same guidance, connections or opportunities. I want to use my experience to represent students from different backgrounds, help make UCL’s opportunities easier to navigate and make sure students feel heard. I’m not just interested in having a title; I want to listen to students, understand what they need and turn their feedback into practical change.
