I've worked with students throughout my career, as a teacher, a coordinator in an SU, and now as a Democracy & Liberation Manager (Student Voice) in Leeds University Union. I have a strong background of empowering student voices, especially marginalised and international student voices. I have four years of experience teaching in Japan and two years in China. Most importantly, I enjoy engaging and working with students to bring out the changes they wish to see in themselves and society.
