EAST15 PRESIDENT CANDIDATES

Ambition | Accessibility | Perseverance

Why are you applying for this role?

I am the current East 15 SU President and since starting this role, it has had a huge impact on my life already. It's taught me loads and has really helped bring me out of my shell. I've found I really enjoy it and it has helped me connect with people and the community around me. I've helped get some little things done around campus and for students and each little accomplishment always feels like a big win. It's work I would like to keep doing and I still feel like I've got so much to learn from it.

What skills and experience would you bring to the role?

From my current role, I have gained experience in event organisation and running, student communication, scheduling, social media management, and good time management. I've also done some work in the service industry (baristas rise up) and have done a bit of freelancing as an artist. These have given me experience with open communication and problem solving.
