Running for the position of Business School President is a chance for me to contribute meaningfully to the academic community. With a thorough understanding of the role's responsibilities, I am ready to serve as the voice of business students and drive positive change within our school. As President, I will actively seek and gather feedback on academic matters. This feedback will guide my efforts to advocate for student needs and ensure our voices are heard at all levels of university decision-making

My candidacy stands out because of my proven track record of leadership and my deep commitment to fostering positive change. As a student, I've been actively involved in various extracurricular activities, including giving talks alongside lecturers for open and visit days, leading student clubs, and representing student interests as a course rep. These experiences have equipped me with the skills and insights needed to advocate for the needs of our diverse student body effectively.

I possess a genuine understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing business students. From navigating rigorous coursework to exploring career pathways, I empathize with the diverse needs and aspirations of our peers. As  President, I will draw upon this empathy to ensure that our academic environment is supportive, inclusive, and conducive to student success. I am eager to work closely with faculty, staff, and fellow students to implement initiatives that address our collective needs and aspirations. I believe we can create a vibrant and dynamic academic community where every voice is valued and heard.
