What experience do you have that will help you in this role?
As well as being a course rep in my first year, I was previously a Senior NCO in the ATC and currently President of a biological society. All three of these positions have required myself to both listen to those I am leading and then formulate a solution at the higher level.
What made you want to nominate yourself for this position?
I enjoyed being a course rep and wanted greater influence to action the issues raised by fellow students. I am the person for the job as I have experience in communicating vertically and horizontally within and outside the academic setting and believe I can improve the faculty for the better.
What do you think is the biggest issue students face in your faculty and how would you try to help resolve it?
I believe there is a lack of community spirit within the faculty. Although this may seem academically irrelevant, a closely knit student body will improve the quality of the student experience.This issue would be resolved via promoting collaboration between the different courses within the faculty.
Describe a time you created change or had a positive impact that benefited other people.
As president of The Order of the Helix, I have brought together students from numerous courses within the FSE, which has then resulted in a small but significant increase in community spirit. This shows that I am already working towards solving one of the biggest issues in my opinion we are facing.
