Candidate · Vice President Academic · PSU

"Representation that is visible, accountable, and genuinely yours."

My Commitment

The PSU has strong foundations but there is a growing gap between its structures and the students it serves. That gap ends here.

I am running to make representation real: visible to every postgraduate, responsive to every concern, and accountable on every outcome.

As a postgraduate in Psychology and a 40+ hour volunteer in PSU and Student Life, I know where the system works and where it must improve.

The Issue

Strong on paper.
Gaps in practice.

Student feedback has often been unclear and delayed. Class representatives are given significant responsibilities without consistent support from the Union.

At times the Union has not been sufficiently visible to class representatives yet they were expected to engage in important policies without adequate backing.

The issue is not the absence of structure, but the growing gap between implementation and structure. My aim is to close that gap, for every postgraduate at UL.

"The core principles Advocacy, Representation, Communication must translate into real results."

Advocacy
Representation
Communication
My Vision

Five commitments
to every postgraduate.

01

Empowering Class Representatives

Better support structures, clear communication channels, and ongoing guidance so that class reps can genuinely advocate for students with the PSU firmly behind them.

02

Communication & Transparency

Students deserve to know what happens after an issue is raised. Accessible, clear updates on decisions and outcomes. Representation that is visible, not hidden.

03

Stronger Academic Representation

Supporting postgraduates in raising concerns across research and academic committees with particular focus on funding, supervision, and academic procedures.

04

Workshops & Skill Development

More career-focused, academic, and skill-based workshops for postgraduates including professional development, employability, and research skills beyond graduation.

05

Collaborative Spirit Across PSU

Working closely with the President and VP Engagement for a unified front in student advocacy combining engagement, support, and academic representation.

"This role is more than representing it's representing effectively."

Class Representatives

The officer comes
to your class.

Stronger class rep support starts with making the officer visible. I will personally engage with classes, attend class rep meetings, and ensure that the PSU is not an abstract institution but a real presence in your postgraduate life.

Every postgraduate student should know exactly how to reach the PSU and exactly who represents them.

Officer visible in classes and during class rep meetings
Consistent support and clear guidance for every class rep
PSU reachable to every postgraduate not just those who already know how
Stronger reps equal stronger student representation at every level
Class reps equipped to engage with policies with full PSU backing
Closing Statement

For every
postgraduate at UL.

I am committed to bringing transparency, clarity and consistency to our postgraduates ensuring that student voices are heard and meaningfully reflected in the decisions that shape their experience.

This role is more than representing. It is representing effectively.
