Q. What Course do you study at Newman?
A. Drama. Q. What made you want to become Equality & Campaigns Officer? A. I wanted the students at Newman to know they have a voice regarding equality and also a voice to what campaigns THEY would like to see. Equality is something close to my heart, and I would love to do more work within Newman to show that. Along with campaigning for various topics! I also believe in ensuring that every problem has a solution along with not forgetting to have a good time within the SU and with fellow staff and students.

MY PROMISES/PLEDGES TO STUDENTS
All elected Officers create a number of Promises that they make to students. Their reports to Student Forum are based on these promises.
PROMISE 1: A LOUDER VOICE FOR UNDERREPRESENTED INDIVIDUALS
Since I have arrived at Newman, I have met various students who are underrepresented. I would like to become a voice and empower students to use their own! I want to make it my mission to ensure every student is heard, regardless of what issues they may have and not let any student left feeling like they've been dissatisfied. I want to be the safe person that people feel come too regarding Equality issues, questions or to chat and find out more!
PROMISE 2: A CALM ROOM ON CAMPUS
I want to make Mental Health heard. I myself have struggled with Mental Illness, and I feel I can become a listening ear and friendly face on campus. I also plan to have a 'calm' room on campus to help students who feel like life struggles or the uni is too much at times- there they can read, listen to music, watch movies, bring snacks and drinks, anything that helps them relax.
