Making the university experience even better!

I've been a UWE student for five years, and know the ins and outs of what the university can offer and therefore, what I can offer it!  I have tried to ingrain myself in the universities' culture and leave a positive impact on the student body; in 2024 I founded and ran the Rock and Metal Society, and I currently work in the SU as a communities assistant, where I help run the SU's liberation campaigns!

If successfully elected, I will work hard to undertake any responsibilities needed of me while executing certain goals to improve the overall experience of every student.

UWE run an amazing selection of activities for students; I want to build on the great success of these activities by giving students a space to voice what they personally would like to see in the future, as well as helping students run their own activiuties/workshops/talks.I will always be open and ready to listen to the suggestions of students in regards to what events and activties they would like to see across the three campuses (Frenchay, City Campus and Glenside), and what would make these events more enriching for the average student.

I would like to improve the academic lives of students through increasing their wellbeing at UWE. On all three campuses, I plan to increase UWE's cost of living support, I will look into bringing back the free shuttle transportation to and from city campus, hosting free healthy cooking classes, improving the community larder and implementing any viable ways of support that students suggest.
I also believe I could improve on the experiences of students studying on campus in the evenings, weekends or out of hours, such as through increasing the accessibility to low light study spaces or nutritious foods in vending machines

As someone who is informed on the UWE student experience, I am realistic about what improvements need be made and I would love the opportunity to open this dialogue with students to communicate how their experience could be improved on.
