How I was involved with LSESU before becoming an officer

Throughout my time at LSE, both UG and PG, I loved getting involved in SU clubs and societies and trying new things! I was most involved in Pole Fitness Club, for which I served as President 2024-5, and last year I served as the SU Women’s Officer and successfully campaigned for LSE to provide free period products campus wide! I can’t wait to achieve more positive impact for the students of LSE. 

What I'm looking to achieve this year

This year I will primarily work to support students with the cost of living and make progress towards ending LSE’s unethical investments. I’m excited to advance these goals whilst maintaining good communication and transparency by the SU and working alongside the amazing team of Sabbatical Officers. 

One tip for making the most out of LSE

Try everything you want to! There is such a variety of student groups at LSE; from sports clubs, to performing arts and political groups. This is a time and place for you to explore all your interests and discover what brings you joy. You’ll also make some incredible lifelong friends along the way :)
