About Me!

• Second Year Psychology - Resit!

• Non-Binary (They/Them)

• I have a younger brother!

As a part time carer doing a full-time degree, I understand what it’s like to have your responsibilities and passions go unnoticed. I would use this opportunity to fight for the representation of those who fall under the radar. 

UEA is our home, and I want to fight for it to feel that way. University is challenging, and if elected, I just want to make your lives all that bit easier.

Previous Experience:

• 2022/23

  • Rounders & Anime Society Equality and Diversity Officer

  • Pride BAME Welfare Rep

  • Events & Safety Officer of Psychology Society

  • Fencing Health & Safety Officer

  • Union Council Rep of Board-Games Society

  • Fencing Social Secretary (2023/24)

I desired these roles as educating myself and others, striving for accessibility and creating events are key to forming a community and making this far away place feel like home! Making spaces for people to feel safe and come together is integral to the university experience.

Current Experiences:

• Chair of Union Council (2022/24)

As an active member of the Student Union, I can empathise with the common frustrations students have with our democratic processes and the desire to have your voice heard – sometimes it’s difficult. As C&D officer, I plan to create a smoother and more streamline process to get student’s voices heard.

With 2 years spent as chair of union council and sitting on our Democratic Procedures Committee, I have already been involved in quite a bit of the behind the scenes of our democratic processes, like creating & supporting motions - which were successful in making constitutional changes in:

• Protection against discrimination for marginalised students

• Anti-radicalisation measures within the student union through open communication & providing safe, unbiased and non-judgmental spaces to ask questions using anonymous forums

• Made additions to Student Code of Conduct to hold people account for less obvious forms of discrimination

• Sustainability in Student Spaces via a rollout Battery Disposal Units

The Future of UEA SU!

I will campaign for and create an effective but simple democratic process, create students equipped with tools to hold their own successful campaigns, Increased Student Engagement, Transparency & Communication within the student union. With affordable food that students influence themselves. These, along with spaces to channel & display student creativity will turn UEA into a home. 

We deserve to leave our mark, instead of remaining a fleeting memory in our university’s history.

How can I do this?

• Challenge Cost of Living within the University

• Integration of International, Postgraduates & Mature Students

• Combat Cliquiness within clubs & societies

• Present Outcomes of Student Ideas

• Create easily available spaces for requests and student voice

• liaise with other universities to consolidate best practice

• Keeping the su website fully up to date for signposting.

• Reform the advice & suggestions process

• Continue the lobby against Barclays

Why me?

I want to make the lives of students easier, empowering our community as a whole & fighting on behalf of our betterment.
