Student Trustee candidate
What experience do you hope to bring to the Trustee Board if elected as Student Trustee?
"If elected as a Student Trustee, I will bring a diverse range of experiences that reflect leadership, decision-making, and a deep understanding of student needs.
Having completed multiple internships in sales, marketing, and management roles across real estate, retail, and publishing sectors, I have developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills. At Yashada Realty Group, I worked on market trend analysis and strategic marketing, which required me to assess data critically and make informed recommendations—skills that align well with a Trustee’s role in evaluating financial and operational decisions. Additionally, my experience at Bata taught me the importance of operational efficiency and employee satisfaction, both of which are crucial in ensuring the Students' Union delivers services effectively.
Beyond professional experience, I have actively sought opportunities to contribute to student communities. As a national-level speed skater, I understand the value of discipline, teamwork, and resilience—qualities essential in governance roles. Moreover, being an international student from India, I appreciate the challenges students face in adapting to a new environment. My firsthand experience in navigating university life in the UK, securing part-time jobs, and managing academics allows me to advocate for a broad range of student concerns, ensuring their voices are heard.
As a Student Trustee, I aim to bring strategic insight, accountability, and a student-focused approach to decision-making, ensuring the Union continues to serve and support its members effectively."
