My Attributes

Teaching Experience

As a MESS teacher and BCLS trainer I have spent time working with lots of you! The ability to share my knowledge and skills has been a fun and rewarding experience.  I am passionate about maintaining this supportive environment between older and younger students, to maximise learning outcomes for everyone.

Passion 

I have spent the last few months working with Medicine offer holders, in 1:1 interview coaching sessions. This has taught me to reflect on my learning experiences and consider ways to boost the success of my peers.

Involvement 

As both a member of BL Dance and BLTennis, I have spent the last year getting involved in events including squad competitions, social tennis matches, and our annual dance showcase.  I have grown to love the passion within our sporting community and want to share this within the academic scene at Barts.

Organised

Balancing the academic demands of Medicine with sports and extracurrculars is a trait that I believe will allow me to manage my role on MESS committee. I have experience with admin roles and social media management, and will be part of the BLSA board next year as International Rep!

Compassionate 

Barts is a supportive environment both socially and academically, and I believe maintaining this sense of community is vital to the well-being and success of everyone. Given the chance to be on MESS committee I will honour the role of one of our most formidable  and  accessed academic communities.

My Aims

  • To ensure room bookings are done in a timely manner to provide suitable learning spaces for our students
  • To co-ordinate with the VP regarding social media management

  • To organise and manage Google Drive to allow students to access content in an efficient way

  • To work with other committee members to create a supportive environment and ensure all administrative tasks are completed to a high standard.
