Enhancing Student Life | Empowering Communities | Supporting International Students

University is more than just academics—it’s about personal growth, skill development, and building a strong community. As a Student Ambassador and Community Warden, I have worked closely with students, clubs, and societies, and I understand how essential extracurricular activities, volunteering, and employability opportunities are for student success.

I am running for Vice-President Student Opportunities to expand access, create inclusive spaces, and ensure international students feel heard and supported.

My Priorities:

Expanding Clubs & Societies

  • Increase funding and support for student-led societies, making them more accessible to all students.
  • Simplify the process of starting and managing clubs, ensuring student ideas become reality.
  • Encourage more cross-cultural collaborations between societies to enhance the student experience.

Enhancing Student Employability

  • Strengthen workshops, networking events, and skills-based training to boost employability.
  • Partner with local businesses and alumni to provide mentorship and job opportunities for students.
  • Advocate for more paid internships and work experience opportunities, including within SUBU.

Supporting International Students

  • Amplify international student voices and push for better support services, visa guidance, and housing help.
  • Organize events and buddy programs to foster integration and reduce cultural barriers.
  • Work with SUBU and BU to ensure international students feel welcomed and valued.

Promoting Volunteering & Sustainability

  • Expand student-led volunteering projects, connecting students with local causes.
  • Push for more sustainability initiatives on campus, including green projects and community engagement.

I am committed to creating opportunities, fostering inclusivity, and ensuring that all students thrive.
