Summary
In my roles as University Ambassador, Class Director, and Section Leader, I've had the opportunity to engage with prospective and current students across interests and life experience. The value of these encounters has been priceless to my education, as I've learned so much about the diverse voices that make our university the vibrant place I'd be proud to represent as Student Governor.
