What do you hope to achieve/learn in your year in office? I hope to learn how to lead effective campaigns and create real change in order to help amplify students's voices, especially around key issues such as living conditions for student renters, student wellbeing and inclusive community building.

What change do you aim to implement? I aim to improve the the living conditions for student renters. I want to push for more transparency, accountability and support for students living in private housing.

I also aim to promote student wellbeing and belonging by creating more inclusive spaces and initiatives that help students feel supported, seen and truly part of the Beds community.

Fun fact about yourself? I love music and DJ as a hobby. I also enjoy exploring cuisines from different cultures and trying to cook or recreate them.

What is the one key change/campaign you want to deliver for students? I aim to spearhead the student wellbeing and belonging campaign as the students have shown that this is an important matter for them as well as being an issue that resonates with me.

What are you most looking forward to / what do you hope to achieve within your role? I am looking forward to working alongside students and the university to bring around meaningful change to better everyone's student experience. 

What message do you have for students? I strongly encourage every student to join every society that interests them as they're a great way to make new friends.
