A bit about me...

What is your most used emoji?

😬 (grinning/grimace face)

3 things you can’t live without?

  • Headphones

Why did you want to be a Student Officer?

I wanted to be a proactive voice for all the postgraduate students here at Durham, a vibrant community that is unfortunately often overlooked and disregarded within the university.

How will you lead the SU in achieving its strategic goals?

I'll work with staff and students to ensure the SU's strategic goals are clearly defined and well understood. The SU can only be truly effective if it has the trust of the people it represents and fights for. Building that trust is a crucial part of my approach to my role as a Student Officer.

Favourite hidden gem in Durham?

Definitely 'The People's Bookshop' on Saddler Street. A great little independent bookshop that more people should check out.

What advice would you give your Fresher self?

Don't be afraid to try new things and step out of your comfort zone, you're only a fresher once.

What's your Kingsgate Bar & Café order?

Flat White, every time.
