What made you run in the Elections to become an officer?

I went to visit the 2018-19 VP Education to find out more about what the role entailed and after speaking to her and finding out more details I knew that I would regret not running in the elections as this sounded like such an amazing opportunity for me to have an impact on the student experience.

My favourite thing about Winchester would be the beautiful countryside right on your door step. Beautiful country walks in any season is easily my favourite past time in Winchester.

 

What has been your proudest moment during your student journey?

My proudest moment was finding out I had passed my Masters in October. I had started my role in July and still had my dissertation due in September so doing both at the same time was difficult but I passed and was so proud of myself.

 

What do you like doing when you aren’t being a Winchester SU Officer?

I love catching up and seeing my old friends from University and eating out! (I love trying new places to eat)
