As President I represent, connect and support Ulster University's 27,000+ students.

As Vice President of the Coleraine Campus, I am the face of the Union on campus.It is but a small part of my overall role as VP but by far the most enjoyable part of the job as I love chatting and engaging with students to help them cultivate ideas & solve problems. In this I also: • Am one of 4 voting members of the Sabbatical Officer Team within UUSU Trustee Board, where we manage a £1.9 million annual turnover and a 26,000 membership. • Hold substantial capability when it comes to reading, understanding and writing governance papers, budgets & reports. Furthermore, I have developed my chairing capabilities and organisational skills when forming teams to tackle certain key issues.• Strong public speaking skills, as VP it is eventually my responsibility to chat with large groupings of students, university staff or outside organisations. I have developed a keen ability to get key parts of information out before elaborating. • I also have a great deal of skill in networking, my connections both inside and outside the university have benefitted me greatly as Vice President. My Main Accomplishments thus far: • Wrote, passed and am implementing our Identity Policy to work on creating a more inclusive environment for enrolling students by granting them the opportunity to be their true selves. • Secured substantial investment in the Bann View Social (SU Bar) to improve the space and create a vibrant area for student engagement & experience. • Led our Student Engagement Strategy for the Academic Year by helping to direct student surveys for transport, cost of living and the strike action. While also complimenting this with events aimed at making students talk and socialise during class hours.

I worked as a Course Representative in the 1st & 2nd Years at Ulster University for the History Department, during my time in that role I assisted in mediating issues between students and lecturers during strike action by the UCU. Worked along with students in helping them find access to mental health services and helped in granting students extensions in their work when their mental health began to affect their work.
