A University for Everyone!

University is much more than lectures and deadlines. It's a place where everyone should feel they belong,  where everyone has the opportunity to achieve, and where everyone can create their future self. As Vice President Achievement & Belonging, I want to help make Bucks a welcoming, inclusive, and exciting community where students can thrive.

I will strengthen support for sports teams and societies, making it easier for students to get involved and feel part of something bigger. I will remove barriers to support greater participation, and I will ensure that sports and societies are inclusive and accessible to all students, regardless of their background or identity.

I will encourage better collaboration between sports and societies, creating more shared events, stronger connections, and unforgettable student experiences.

And because student leaders make it all happen, I’ll ensure that committee members and volunteers receive the recognition they deserve.

I want every student at Bucks to feel seen, valued, and supported. I’ll back initiatives that celebrate success beyond academic - from leadership and creativity to volunteering and community impact. I will expand flexible volunteering opportunities that fit around student life and support career goals, while building stronger partnerships with local charities and community organisations.

I’m passionate about sustainability and will support eco-friendly events and societies, promote recycling, reduce waste, and push for clear communication about how we’re making Bucks greener.

Most importantly, I will be here for you. I am approachable, visible, and ready to listen. I will be here for you. I want you to be seen, heard, and to belong.
