Hello! I’m Kai, and over these past weeks, I’ve been trying to get to know all of you. The breadth of interesting and intelligent people I’ve been fortunate enough to meet is genuinely incredible. I’m running because I want to advocate for all you remarkable individuals and make sure that each and every one of you has your voice heard.
To me, academic rep means being able to liaise with a wide range of people, whether in our year group or in the department as a whole. The best person to represent you in that situation is someone who can communicate effectively and knows how to ask for help. I understand the struggles of academics; some concepts have taken me a long time to learn. These experiences have given me an understanding of how people can struggle with different things -- even things that seem trivial. I’ve had to advocate for myself in those situations, and I would like to use those skills to speak up for you, whether it’s about assessments, feedback, or anything else you need.
I hope that throughout our interactions, whether it was a brief chat before a lecture or at RSM Hockey, you’ve found me to be approachable and someone you can talk to should you need anything: someone you can trust to have your best interests at heart. As a year group, we are each other’s primary support system, and I believe this is the best way for me to contribute to that.
