What motivated you to run for a full-time representative role?
Driven by a commitment to the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Business, I offer six years of leadership experience as a Class Representative and Academic Director. These roles have given me a deep understanding of student challenges and the skills to ensure everyone is effectively represented. As a proactive problem-solver and a proven bridge between students and faculty, I prioritize listening to deliver real results. I am a visible, approachable leader who fosters inclusion and excellence.
Why do you think you would be a good President?
I would be an excellent President because I combine six years of proven leadership as a Class Representative and Academic Director. This experience gives me a deep understanding of student needs and academic policy. I am a proactive advocate ready to navigate university structures, prioritize well-being, and ensure every voice in our faculty is translated into real action. I offer professional, results-driven representation from day one.
What three words would your friends use to describe you?
Reliable, empathetic, and innovatively driven. They see a steady hand who listens first and brings a fresh, creative energy to every challenge; one who follows through on commitments with a relentless drive to turn unique ideas into real results.
If you could change one thing in your Faculty what would that be?
I’ll implement a "Student-Faculty Co-Creation Lab" to bridge the "experience gap." Drawing on my six years as an Academic Director, I’ll lead students and Faculty heads to co-design a curriculum that embeds Industry Micro-Credentials directly into our modules. By using existing university licenses, it’s a budget-neutral, feasible way to ensure every student graduates with the professional certifications needed to succeed. As President, I’ll be the bridge between student voice and career results.
