I studied Aerospace Engineering at UWE and last year served as your Vice President Community & Welfare. Prior to that, I was actively involved in numerous sports clubs and societies and even founded my own, the Speak Up Society, which was shortlisted for its first ever award - the Contributions to Equality Award - in 2021. I was also a course Student Rep, EDM Diversity & Inclusivity Department Rep, Student Ambassador and UWE BoxED Ambassador.
My Manifesto
1. Curriculum & Employability
- Lobby the university to make industry-based placements compulsory by building it into the course structure to enhance graduates' employability skills and outcomes.
- Work closely with the university to imbed wellbeing in the formal curriculum.
- Launch a Neurodiversity Celebration Week to raise awareness and break the stigma around neurodiversity in Higher Education.
2. Students’ Welfare
- Establish a student-led support scheme of Welfare Champions from all campuses.
- Lobby for increased financial support for international students and improve their overall student experience.
- Launch a Speak Up Campaign Week and messages throughout the year to eradicate racism, any kind of discrimination and harassment on campus.
3. Environmental Sustainability
- Eliminate all single use plastic in the Students’ Union and university commercial services by end of 2023.
- Develop a Students’ Union Ethical Investment Policy in alignment with the new 2022-2026 strategy.
