Tell us a bit about yourself, your role and your time at Queen Mary
Hi, I’m Nabihah, your VP Welfare. I studied Biomedical Sciences but I’m pretty sure I’ve spent more time in the Students’ Union building than in my lectures…
Favourite spot on any of our campuses?
The Multi Faith Centre is my go-to, but Canalside is a close second.
If you could recommend one thing the Students’ Union has on offer for students to get involved in, what would it be?
Get involved with societies, you’d be surprised by the opportunities and learning opportunities available.
Top study tip?
Break big tasks down, take it step by step, do your best whilst having full trust everything will work out how it’s supposed to.
Tell us about a hobby you do and why you love it
I make weekly vlogs that are only shared within my friends and family. I love looking back at memories, plot twists and random adventures.
What’s one thing at Queen Mary that you couldn’t live without?
The people.
What’s your ideal day out in London?
That’s a tough choice, the first thing that comes to mind is meeting friends, going on a long walk and catching up.
What’s a piece of advice you’d give to students?
Your studies are one section of your life, try your best in it but do not become totally consumed by the degree. Use this time to develop yourself, explore interests and such activities of benefit. It may seem tough and overwhelming so take things a step at a time.
If you could have one superhero power, what would it be?
Teleportation (not just to save money on TfL).
What are you most looking forward to this year?
Working on my manifesto goals and bringing about positive change wherever I can.
