Introduction

Please allow me to introduce myself to YU.

I was an exchange student in the US at 15, living with a host family and making friends with people outside my ethnicity for the first time. I experienced the beauty of diversity, and it showed me why inclusion is important.

My passion for race equity gives me the confidence to facilitate decolonial conversations and a Black History Month podcast.

I also love engaging and supporting our cultural and interfaith groups.

I have always valued justice, but I only knew I had an activist in me later in life. In 2016, I campaigned with my friends for marriage equality in Taiwan (it was finally legalised in 2019!)

As part of LGBT+ History Month in February, I focused on trans and non-binary campaigns, but I know there is still so much I can achieve for you.

During my undergrad placement, I worked to support students who stammer. I have personal experience with disabilities, but I cannot represent students with all types and levels of disabilities without you! I have dedicated myself to engaging and learning from people who have lived experience, including taking BSL classes, so I can do better to support you.

I am lucky to work at Strath Union, where women's rights and safety is a well-established remit with the effort of staff, passionate Reps and student-led societies, so I could focus more on policy and safeguarding ideas.

Voting opens 6th March - 9th March.
