Educator/Teacher, Idea generator

I am the CEO of Aston University Students Union. We are a charity that supports and engages University students in the city of Birmingham in the UK. We provide the extra curricula activities on the city centre campus, much like the US student associations as well as independent academic representation – our aim is to give student their voice within the University structures. We employ around 50 staff and have 100s of student volunteers organising and delivering student-led events and opportunities for their student communities, as well as campaigning on wider issues facing society.

I am passionate about supporting (mainly) young people to become the best version of themselves and achieve their hopes and aspirations. This remains the main reason I do the job that I do, supporting students to make the most of their time and money whilst at University. I also volunteer as a Trustee of a local Charity which uses sports to engage young people to provide them with the opportunity to create a better future for themselves, helping them move into sustained education, training and ultimately work.
