Can you sum up your campaign in under 10 words? 

Real jobs, real inclusion, real impact – fun & fair futures.

What made you decide to run for officer? 

Liverpool deserves its vibe back – not just nights out, but a campus where your ideas, identity, and career all feel like they belong. I’m running because I’ve seen how opportunities grow when we mix fun with purpose and turn “networking” into something students actually want to show up to. As your MSc mate and a Senior Analyst with over two years’ experience at Amazon Ads, I’ve learned that building futures should also mean enjoying the journey, not burning out chasing it. I’m already in talks with founders and students to create paid opportunities that genuinely bridge the gap between startups and the talent on our campus. Have a dream office or role in mind? You’ll be able to request it directly through the portal and turn it into a real visit, project, or placement. I want to turn student ideas into action through paid internships and ambassador roles, monthly “Career Raves” and office visits that feel more like creative meet‑ups than dry fairs, and a Co‑Founder Match portal to help you find the right people to build with. Alongside that, I’ll push “Pint of View” conversations with real decision‑makers, bold campaigns to call out silent racism, and mental‑health support that’s actually usable, not just a poster on a wall. Let’s make uni life as exciting, inclusive, and opportunity‑packed as it looks on the prospectus.

How have you been involved with the Guild during your time at uni? 

I’ve served as Marketing Society President and Course Rep, and I’m currently leading projects that connect students with real‑world marketing, careers, and community‑building events through the Guild. I’m also an official member of the Liverpool Careers Hub, working with staff, founders, and students to open up more meaningful opportunities on and off campus. Alongside this, I’ve led creative and inclusion work on race equality and women’s equity with the Liverpool City Region Race Equality Panel and through Guild campaigns, collaborating with multiple societies on events that blend learning, networking, and fun. All of this has shown me how community, creativity, and advocacy can move mountains when we connect voices across all backgrounds.

What’s your favourite spot in Liverpool?

The Baltic Triangle – it’s where ideas, food, music, and creativity collide. From street art and indie venues to the Baltic Market’s buzzing food stalls, it feels like the heartbeat of the city and the perfect mix of work, play, and inspiration.
