Utilising the momentum gained from previously acting as School Rep (2019); PG Rep (2021+2022); and UUSU's Part-Time/Distance Learner Councillor (2021-2023), I will continue to advocate for positive CHANGE to ensure EVERY Distance Learner is offered ADDED VALUE during and after graduation. This means I will continue to utilise well-established connections made across QUB, QUBSU, UU and UUSU, allowing me to fight for our collective concerns: IMPROVE how our ‘Student Voice’’ is valued; IMPROVE communication across the University; BETTER representation; and POSITIVE changes for ALL.
