Why I Ran for Officer

I ran for officer as there were a lot of issues people I know had ran into on both my Undergraduate and Postgraduate. I wanted to try to make a difference!

My Leadership Race Campaign

Click here to view the manifesto I campaigned with in the 25/26 Leadership Race. I then worked with the rest of the team to break it down into the projects on this page.

Favourite Memory at Staffs

Getting to represent our student body on a national scale through the national Student Housing and Trans Rights student campaigns. Also, singing the Evangelion opening at karaoke.

Go-to Ember Lounge Order

Mac and Cheese! And Thatchers Blood Orange!

Guilty Pleasure

“Guilty” implies I feel bad about it, and I have no shame about being cringe as to be cringe is to be free. Anyways, the fabled cursed Guinness combos: Please order an Oat Gilk (Oat Milk and Guinness) from the Ember Lounge Bar.

Advice to First Years

Remember to not get too caught up in doing everything perfectly. It’s your first year, there’s always room for mistakes! Use your first year as a chance to get involved, join student groups and get to know not only the people on your course, but people across campus in general! Also you are not, in fact, capable of speed running an entire semester’s worth of work in the space of 3 days.
