Election post
Hi! I'm running for Welfare Officer to create a space where every Life Sciences student feels welcomed and supported. As a second-year Biochemistry student, I've struggled to balance demanding coursework, endless deadlines all whilst maintaining a social life. It's easy to become overwhelmed without knowing how to deal with the academic pressure.
I believe focusing on mental health and knowing how to take a break is just as important as staying on top of all your deadlines. Which is why I want to build a Life Sciences community where looking after yourself is prioritised, not an afterthought!
As your welfare officer, my goal is to organise regular, low-pressure events where you can actually relax and connect with like-minded people. As someone who finds that stepping away from the library, whether it's for a quick regents park walk, a bakery trip, or just fresh air genuinely helps reset my mind, so I'm excited to create more opportunities for us to get out of our usual stress bubbles together.
