WHAT I STUDIED
BSc Psychological and Behavioural Sciences.
HOW I WAS INVOLVED WITH LSESU BEFORE BECOMING AN OFFICER
Before becoming the Education Officer, I worked in the SU as the Student Opportunities Coordinator where I mainly liaised between LSE Careers, LSESU and societies. One of my highlights was putting on the event 'Womanhood & Working Life' in celebration of International Women's Day with four of our female-focused societies. I also helped facilitate the Education and Employability Panel, where I listened to the experiences of Undergrads and Postgrads to see where we needed change!
WHAT I’M LOOKING TO ACHIEVE THIS YEAR
To truly represent students in their academic needs, transforming the educational experience, improving teaching, addressing departmental disparities and advocating for divestment initiatives.
ONE TIP FOR MAKING THE MOST OUT OF LSE
Ask for help! You hear that university is all about independent learning, but that doesn't mean you need to struggle in silence or alone - whether it is your peers, within your department or the disability & wellbeing service, talk to someone because you are never alone.
