We have all experienced the pressures of balancing academic work with personal wellbeing. I strongly believe every student deserves the support necessary to succeed both academically and personally. The pursuit of balance in mental and physical health is timeless; Mens sana in corpore sano—a sound mind in a sound body—has been strived after for thousands of years.

1. Collaborating with Wellbeing and Student Services: I will work closely with the Wellbeing Team and Student Services to promote and expand wellness-focused activities.This includes organizing stress management workshops, wellness retreats, and virtual sessions, to be inclusive to online students, all aimed for completion within the academic year.
2. Promoting Mental and Physical Health: I will organize two mental health talks with industry experts and three physical wellbeing initiatives in collaboration with campus clubs & societies. Integrating wellness into our routines will help students effectively manage the demands of their academic journey and personal lives.
3. Enhancing Academic Support: I will collaborate with personal tutors to introduce structured wellbeing check-ins and advocate for two drop-in sessions to offer immediate support. My goal is to ensure consistent opportunities for discussing academic challenges and mental health by the end of the academic year.
4. Supporting Returning Students: For students returning after a break, I will develop reintegration programs by the end of the first semester, providing tailored support to ensure they have the tools needed to excel and thrive in their studies while fostering a strong sense of community among all students in their studies.
