What's your favourite moment from being a student here?
My favourite moment here at Barts is coming back from summer and being greeted by classmates from my year and other years. Also the time Dr Robson congratulated me on directing Senior play, she even knew my name!
What's something you've done that you're proud of?
Work I have done improving welfare of students within drama committee, helping run study sessions and doing study skills and exam help with the freshers this year.
What is a problem facing students and how do you propose to fix it?
To combat stigma in the university centred around failure and having a disability. Giving students space to share unconventional university timelines, such as interrupting or retaking. I aim to encourage openness of issues with disability and failure within the university and invite key speakers to share their experiences.
