Additionally, The Union's dedication to advocating for student rights and welfare aligns with my own values, making my work feel meaningful. Lastly, the diverse range of events and activities I lead in organising are exciting and add variety to my role, keeping me motivated and engaged.

The Union is fun, fast-paced and full of people who are passionate about supporting students.

No two days are the same, and that’s probably my favourite thing about working here. I’m naturally curious and love working with people across the organisation to support students and deliver great services to them.

There are loads of opportunities to learn and develop too, from qualifications and courses to learning on the job – and everything in between. The organisation really cares about its people, and I feel support to strike a good work/life balance. Especially important for me as I navigate life as a mum of young twins.
