What made you decide to run? Fantastic progress has been made for LGBTQ+ students over the last year. We want to be at the helm of continuing this progress and, if re-elected, we want to see even more being done for our community.
Why are you the best person for the job? We should be re-elected not only because we have experience in this role, but we also have the determination to finish the job we started. Despite the challenges of COVID, we have a vision for even more tangible progress for York&#8217;s LGBTQ+ community.
How do you think LGBTQ+ students could be better represented at York? One thing we have always strived for is inclusivity. We want to continue growing the LGBTQ+ subnetworks at the university by holding more events and raising the visibility of these subnetworks. We will also continue to fight for all LGBTQ+ students, however they identify, to be represented by the uni.
If you were an ice-cream, what flavour would you be? Cookie Dough.
