For A Guild We Deserve
Manifesto Question Responses
Why are you running to be an Officer?
As an international student, Course Rep and Wellness Volunteer, I've seen what students truly struggle with cultural isolation, finding belonging, navigating university life from scratch, financial pressure, and a job market leaving both local and international students behind. I'm running for President to change this: by creating accessible work experience opportunities so no student is held back by an empty CV, creating real inclusion, and making sure every voice wherever you're from, you shape this Guild.
What qualities would you bring to the role?
Having already served as President in my previous university, I am familiar with leading the student community, managing events and securing funding for student opportunities. As a Wellness Volunteer, empathy and active listening aren't skills I learned in a classroom, they're how I naturally operate. As an entrepreneur and international student studying AI for Digital Business, I bring a global, forward-thinking perspective and global opportunities for all students. I listen first, act decisively, and measure my success by the people I've helped, not the titles I've held.
What would be your top 4 priorities, if you were elected?
1. Mental Health: I've sat with 55+ students through their hardest moments as a Wellness Volunteer, I know that sometimes you just need someone nearby who understands. I'll launch a peer-to-peer Mental Health Ambassador Programme, embedding trained student supporters in every faculty so help is never more than a familiar face away. No waiting lists. No stigma. Just someone who gets it because they've been there too.
2. Making Liverpool Affordable & Fun: I'll go further by introducing practical financial literacy workshops embedded into university life helping students budget, seek financial advice, access available support, and make their money go further. Because surviving university financially isn't just about emergency money, it's about feeling confident and in control from day one.
3.Opportunity for All: The job market is brutal right now and the unfair part is that experience is required to get experience. I want to break that cycle entirely. Through the Guild, I'll create a programme of free internships open to every student regardless of subject or background, with zero prior experience required. I'll bring industry inside Liverpool through regular company visits and networking summits that connect you directly with employers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers. And I'll build an open platform accessible to all students, from Medicine to Music, where you can propose what opportunities matter most for your career.
4. Guild That Never Stops: Events, Sport & Student Life, University isn't just a degree, it's the time of your life. And I want Liverpool to feel exactly like that, every single day. I'll push societies to go bigger, run more events, and reach more students throughout the entire year, not just during Welcome Week. I'll champion more sports activities, inter-society competitions, and cultural celebrations that bring every corner of campus to life. I want a Guild calendar so full and exciting that choosing Liverpool is a no-brainer for students across the world. Some of these events will be crowdfunded and saved for flexible hardship funds for students. Because a vibrant campus doesn't just make university better it makes you better. Liverpool should be the first choice. Let's make it undeniable.
