Hi everyone! I'm Julia, your Vice President Education and Welfare!

I studied Criminology here at Bucks, so I know exactly what it's like to be a student balancing lectures, assignments, placements, work, and everything else that comes with university life.

Before becoming your Vice President, I worked as a Bar Supervisor at the Venue and got involved in the Leadership Academy, which helped me build confidence, develop leadership skills, and meet some amazing people.

When I first started university, I never imagined I'd end up representing thousands of students. Getting involved with the Students' Union completely changed my university experience, and now I'm excited to help make yours just as memorable.


What do I do outside of work?

Outside of the Students' Union, I love spending time with my family and friends, travelling whenever I get the chance, and staying active.

I'm passionate about criminology, cyber security which I want to pursue in the near future. Whether it's exploring
new places, relaxing with my dog, or planning new ideas to improve student life, I'm always keeping busy!


My Plans for this year:

Safe and Smart:

I'm launching a campaign focused on helping students stay safe throughout university life. This includes personal safety, placement safety, cyber security, scam awareness, healthy relationships, consent, housing safety, and making sure everyone knows where to get support when they need it.

Your Education, Your Voice:

I want every student to feel heard. I'll be working with Course Reps and gathering regular student feedback to improve teaching, assessments, feedback, placements, and the overall academic experience.

Support That Works:

I'll continue working closely with the University's support services to make sure they're accessible, well promoted, and genuinely meeting students' needs. Whether it's wellbeing, academic support, financial advice, or disability services, I want students to know help is always available.

Building Our Community:

University is about more than studying. I'll be supporting events, campaigns, volunteering opportunities, and initiatives that help students make friends, build confidence, and enjoy their time at Bucks.

Come and say hello! My office door is always open, so don't be afraid to pop in for a chat, ask a question, or share an idea. I'm here to represent you, support you, and make sure your voice is heard throughout your time at BNU.

I can't wait to meet you all—welcome to Bucks!
