I have always been interested in education and politics, and my journey to the Students’ Union began when I went on the march against the rise in tuition fees in 2010 – not only did this event make me more politically active, but I became very interested in fighting injustices within education. I became involved with the Union through my work in the volunteering society Enactus, and became project leader of their educational project Speak Up. My work as a student rep made me realise how important student representation is within the university, and my desire to improve this system was instrumental in my decision to run for Education Officer.
