organised, compassionate, adaptable
Why do you want to represent your community?
I would love the opportunity to actively participate in the development of a more inclusive student environment, where I am able to engage with passionate individuals that are keen to enforce positive change. This is shaped by my personal experiences, such as being a woman from an ethnic minority background, who desires to embrace individuals' cultural identities that have been neglected in the past; this is pushed by my experience of having to try to alter myself to fit in. Following previous leadership roles, I am also a very confident individual who is ready to apply my critical thinking skills to challenging topics - this is fostered by my law degree.
How would you aim to engage with your community?
I would aim to engage with student communities by organising social events, which would vary from sporty activities (perhaps bean bag races), to more relaxed sessions such as quizzes and pub crawls. Students will also be given the opportunity to select from a wide variety of food and drinks at our weekly meetings, where I am planning to reward ideas with vouchers within the university. I would also be willing to take on my peers' ideas and help implement them within the university by actively engaging with pupils both socially and virtually: this could be through helping them organise events or advertising them on social media.
