It's your future that we all support.

1. Why do you want to stand?

Make everyone represented. Ensure cohorts views are heard with police and university.


2. How would you represent Staffordshire University Students?

Ensure everyone has a fair experience giving you the best opportunity.


3. If you could change three things about anything to do with being a student at Staffordshire University, what would they be?

Communication between university and police so material and knowledge is effectively delivered. Secondly, sufficient time to complete work. Finally, everyone is given the best opportunity.


4. What do you think is the biggest issue facing Staffordshire University?

Communication, with police counterparts and communicating to students the material and legislation.


5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing the Students' Union in the next 12 months?

Advertisement and support, many roles of the Students’ Union or what they offer are unknown.


6. Please tell us about a priority campaign that you would run if elected?

Effective communication, I seek to create a platform where all views and issues are expressed in confidence, so no one is left struggling.

7. Why does that campaign matter to students?

It matters as ultimately their future is affected, if not delivered effectively.


8. What can you offer that no-one else can?

Vital experience in leading teams. Therefore, I will be making sure all parties understand what is being expected.


9. Sum up your election campaign in less than 140 characters.

Everyone has different styles of learning and developing. Sometimes the material being delivered makes people feel tunnel visioned to just reading documents. I want all learning styles to be satisfied to allow everyone the best possibility at gaining the most out of this experience and a high qualification.

 After all it is your future, but we are all here to support you.
