Emma Parkinson

Hi everyone! I’m Emma, and I’m running to be your Year 2 Biochemistry Wellbeing Representative!

I know that while we’ve all gotten past the "freshness" of first year, second year brings new challenges — heavier workloads, more expectations, and sometimes less time to breathe. I want to make sure no one feels alone in that.

I’m always happy to chat — whether it’s about uni stress, health, or just to grab a coffee and talk things through. Having struggled with some health issues in first year, I know how hard it can be to balance everything, and I want to make sure everyone feels supported — both mentally and physically. If something’s wrong, I won’t just listen, I’ll help make things happen. I’ve built good connections with people in the Student Disability Advisory Service and within our department, so I know exactly who to reach out to if anyone needs extra support or guidance.

Let’s make Year 2 not just about surviving, but thriving — together!!!
