Aleisha Mainwaring

After being Film Department President for the past year I have shown my dedication to the department and have really enjoyed my time in this position.  I have built strong relationships between lecturers, course reps and students throughtout my time in this role and I have so much more to give. My passion for the course has provided me with so much knowledge whilst working alongside the lecturers and has enabled me to demonstrate good communication skills and provide support towards students and lecturers. Throughout my student ambassador work I have enganged with students and their families hearing their concerns and opinions. As well as this I have also taken on responsbilties as the film society president where I am able to liase with lots of students and lecturers which has allowed for the film society to improve the student experience so it can be the best it can be. If I were to continue in this role I would continue to voice all students opinions and their needs/wants whilst studying and push for more engaging opportunities and experiences for students to be involved in. After being a first year student myself I understand just how intimidating it can be for students so would make sure to prioritise how they feel and allow for their thoughts and/or concerns to be heard.  As well as this I would like to focus on post-graduate opportunties to reassure students about the future prospects for students after they finish studying.
