Read my manifesto

What made you decide to stand for election this year?

The desire to contribute something back to the place and the community that gave me so much exposure and memories to become the person that I am today.

What are your top three priorities from your manifesto?

1. Make guaranteed accommodation scheme more clear to freshers, structuring it by budget and location.

2. Expand the horizons of the disabilities support network by introducing more sports initiatives and getting more students and staff involved in decision-making.

3. Quarterly feedback from students on the performance of Sabbs and Union itself.

What do you hope to achieve in the coming year?

Apart from the aforementioned objectives, I would also want to get sleeping pods installed at the campus so that students that live far away can take rest and do not have to travel back which will definitely increase their efficiency. During my tenure here I’ve seen some people struggle with using toilet paper as back home they’ve been using water. So I would like to get jet sprays installed within the toilets.

What has been the best part of your UCL experience so far?

Although I have made so many great memories during my time here but the time during my election campaign truly stands out as one of the best.

Your advice to new students?

Nothing is impossible here if you set your heart to it.
