Why are you running for SU President?
I am running for SU President because I am passionate about championing student voice and working to improve all aspects of the student experience. After having a years experience as a sabbatical officer, I can say I don’t shy away from challenging the University when it comes to any matters ranging from issues surrounding student support to the current Academic Future proposals.
If elected, what do you intend to keep the same?
I intend to carry on the work that the officer team have been doing this year, especially in regards to tackling sexual violence - I intend to keep on working with Time To Act to tackle the issue that our students are facing on campus, also I intend to carry on representing the student voice at all times, ensuring that students are heard in all conversations and desicions that are made at our university.
If elected, what do you intend to change?
I intend to ensure that we have suitable prayer rooms across all of campus, all students who wish to pray, and/or have a quiet space should have somewhere to go without having to ask for this provision, it should be something that already stands. I will also hold Cardiff University accountable on the promises they make.
In what ways has your time at university influenced your platform in this election?
During my time at university I was on Y Gym Gym and UMCC committees, I was also a student representative for the School of Welsh. These opportunities led me to running to be an officer last year.
When did you decide to run for the position?
A short while after being a sabbatical officer I decided to run for a second term, and when the Academic Futures proposals were announced i wanted to ensure that I could continue the work of challenging Wendy Larner and UEB.
