Why do you want to represent your community?

I want to represent my community to give back to the university that helped shape me in the last 3 years. I am extremely grateful for my previous 3 years for being able to experience life as an international student in the UK and the US. Following my journey, I understand how international students feel during their best and worst days, and I know I can have an impact on improving the life of international students here at University of Essex by getting in touch with them and organizing events to help them make the most out of their time university of Essex, and get through their homesickness days with all positivity.

How would you aim to engage with your community?

I aim to engage with my community by organizing mixers and getting out there to communicate with different people and get all their insights into consideration. I also plan on going to different societies where there are international people to get to know them and expand my circle of international people. Moreover, I would be open to anyone who would just want to communicate or give me their thoughts regarding any specific issue through email or phone.
