I've been an LSE student since my MSc in 2018, and am now pursuing a PhD. I have taken on various roles within the university and the LSESU, allowing me to understand its academic, social, and political environment and bureaucratic processes. As a Student Trustee, I’ll ensure the LSESU is doing what it was set up to do – helping LSE students make the most of their time at university. I’ll do this by:

1. Monitoring the LSESU’s financial plans to ensure its viability and sustainability, ensuring it funds activities that promote student wellbeing.
2. Approving operational strategies and policies, and monitor their implementation and progress.
3. Championing policies that tackle issues students care about.
