Computing (PG): MSc Computing

How do you do fellow student? Hopefully by the time you have read this we will have met each other around lectures or labs and you will vaguely know who I am!

I am standing to as a student representative for our course because I believe that with effective engagement with the department and university we can have better outcomes for us as students. Better MSc times, better life! And of course as a response to Josiah's pleading...!

I have had plenty of experience in the world of committees and bureaucracy in my time so managing that kind of thing is familiar to me. And I like to think that I am fairly approachable and easygoing, but equally I have the empathy to take people's concerns seriously; I was the welfare officer in my local cycling club in Edinburgh. As such I think I am well placed to act as the interface between us as a student body and the department. Equally I have known London a long time and like a social event so I am not short of ideas of what we might do there when looking for some downtime - like the cinema trip we did a few weeks back.

Anyhow happy voting, and toodlepip!
