Twice elected Chair of Civil Engineering Society (CivSoc) and Mature Students' Society (MatureSoc).
In previous appointments, implemented inclusive and diverse opportunities for students who are:
-BAME
-Muslim
-the first person in their family to attend university
-from atypical academic backgrounds before Brunel.
Through seeking and organising speakers, competitions and visitations focusing on building realistic bridges for the development of aforementioned groups.
At Brunel I have expericend personal and community struggles as a disabled student. Thus, developed to become an advocate by nature and listener by nurture.
More needs to be done to support non-visible disabilities !
More needs to be done to reduce apply inclusive solutions !
More needs to be done to reduce the discrimination and hardships experienced by disabled students!
I will achieve this by influencing policymakers:
-to listen
-to make practical changes in methods for complaints
-to stop using disabled accommodation for non-disabled students.
-to stop departrments delaying inclusive solution applications by applying time scales connected with Extenuating Circumstances
