A bit about me...

I'm from Newmarket in Suffolk, I studied Economics and Politics and I'm very excited to be SU Education Officer this year!

I have been on the exec of Durham Tenants’ Union, a society that helps students who have problems with their landlords, and Durham University Labour Club.

I was also in Durham University Orchestral Society throughout my degree where I played cello, oboe and cor anglais!

It should come as no surprise that whilst many of the problems facing us are unique, we still share common challenges. A lack of clarity about support and advice, a stressful and distracting housing crisis, and the cost of learning. All eroding the quality of learning and, overall, a bad deal for students. It doesn’t have to be like this, and I am passionate about solving it.

Change should be made by those directly experiencing the issues and this requires creating an environment where wider student participation can flourish.
