Amara Mighty

Over the past two years on committee, first as Treasurer and then as Vice-President, I have had the privilege of helping shape and support this incredible club. Through supervising open practices, supporting members, and managing communications, I have developed a deep understanding of our community and how powerful Pole can be in someone’s university experience.

This year, I am standing for Welfare Officer because I am passionate about ensuring that Pole Club is a safe, empowering cornerstone of student life. University can be overwhelming, and for many of us Pole is where we decompress, build confidence, strengthen our mind–body connection, and find belonging. I want to protect and develop that space.

This year, I advocated for and introduced beginner-only practice sessions to create a less intimidating environment for new members, and I coordinated our Movember charity event.

As Welfare Officer, I would focus on clear and approachable welfare pathways, promoting healthy training habits, supporting members through injury or confidence dips, and ensuring sessions and socials remain inclusive and respectful. I would also introduce regular welfare-focused socials outside of the studio to strengthen connections.

As a third-year PhD student, I understand the pressures of university life and how important a supportive community can be. I care deeply about this club and would love to dedicate myself to nurturing its welfare and inclusivity.
