Be heard.

Hello. I just started at UWS, previously I had a role as Pupil Council for my class. I have relevant experience in dealing with issues and I know when somethings up. I want to be able to give everyone a voice and to be heard. Everyone wants a pleasant experience in University and I want to make it the average experience for everyone. 

Priority 1: Representation and Empowerment

To me, having a voice is crutial in this day and age, some feel that their voice doesn't matter in the mass or they are simply too shy to do so. I want to be able to give everyone the ability to be heard, laugh and work in a more socially positive way. Even if we're in the middle of a pandemic. I want to be able to:

  • Hear everyone out and speak on their behalf
  • Bring about a positive change
  • Become a proxy between Student and the University

Priority 2: Equity and Language

I want everyone to have a pleasant experience during their time at University, and for those who are international students, that may not be as easy with language barriers. Scots can be very difficult for some to understand (Sometimes I don't even understand myself). What I want to be able to provide is a way for some who struggle a way to further develop their understanding of how many of us speak, I want to have social activies outside of University hours (Gaming sessions, forums) because what's more fun than being sus on Among Us.
