Bringing the FEWture of your well being
In standing as a candidate for the position of RSU Vice President Welfare, I can demonstrate my passion for student wellbeing, welfare, and safety at Roehampton University being a current student in my 4th year studying a Masters. During this time, I have built strong relationships across the University and RSU, particularly through my role as a Movember Ambassador for the past 2 years and as Male Sports President for the past year. I have been able to bring enthusiasm and a strong commitment to representing students, particularly with a focus on mental health awareness for students whilst at university. I am keen to use my experience from being at Roehampton, knowledge gained through Movember, and the relationships created across the University and RSU to address key issues in working alongside RSU colleagues. I am excited at the opportunity to work on new ideas such as drop-in sessions so that students know they always have someone to speak to who would understand life at Roehampton University. I pledge to always be available to students and staff.
