Karla Gonzalez

Hello, everyone. I'm Karla, a dedicated international PhD student from the Energy and Climate Change Division. Drawing from my engineering background in mechatronics and experience as a PhD student, I recognise the critical role of innovation in tackling societal challenges and creating positive impact.

I'm passionate about employing my skills to help society, and am committed to utilising my engineering expertise, leadership, communication, project management, and teamwork skills to bring positive improvements to our community. Studying at University can sometimes feel like a daunting and lonely journey. As an FEPS student rep, I believe there is an opportunity to connect like-minded people together to promote a sense of unity across the department through organising informal engagement events. Such events will allow collaboration through student’s work, giving students a chance to bond. Furthermore, I am dedicated to addressing community concerns and leveraging my position as an advocate for green energy, biodiversity, and sustainability practices across our campuses.

If entrusted with your vote, I will foster collaboration, nurture creativity, and drive progress within our FEPS community and the University. I will prioritise our community's needs and focus on policies that promote sustainable growth and diversity. I will represent ongoing local issues to higher management and seek all possible approaches to resolve them. I firmly believe in the value of collaboration and am committed to ensuring that every voice is heard and respected.
I aim to ensure that we can work together to pioneer transformative solutions and build a brighter future where all voices matter, and every individual is valued. Together, we can tackle challenges with determination and collective effort to implement solutions that benefit the FEPS community.
