I would like to nominate myself for the role of school rep for the School of Nursing and Midwifery 2023. I was previously elected as SNAM rep last year; however, I stepped down to life stresses and course workload. I am now in a better position to take hold of this role and support my fellow students in SNAM.

Using my experience as SNAM rep last year, I will continue to build on my communication and professional skills. I will relay any feedback I receive from course reps and students to the lecturers, and I aim to set up drop-in sessions for all students to voice any concerns or worries in a safe space. As someone who found the second year of the degree especially challenging, I feel that I can support our first and second years when they’re feeling worried over assignments, placement, and other factors. I would also support my cohort, PUNC20, and the Masters students with the assistance of UPSU. As I am based at the Cornwall campus, I will intend to run these sessions face to face where possible with the assistance of the course reps and potentially online if preferred by the students. I would also engage fully with the Students Union to signpost students to support services where needed.

As a third year, I feel that I am more knowledgeable and experienced, and I would like to bring this to the role. I have previously been told I am approachable and would like to think of myself as a friendly person. I am reliable, compassionate, and non-judgemental. I’m always available for a chat if someone needs a good listener or some advice. I am hardworking and dedicated and would love the opportunity to take on this role again.
