Who am I?

Hi! I’m Beth and I want to be an NUS Delegate to represent you!  I am running for the role as I know I can get your needs and wants to be heard. I support everyone regardless of sex, gender, race, sexuality, HIV status, disabilities and any other ground that someone may be discriminated against. I am here to represent you. 

I am a third year law student with a passion for politics and debating.  I have been involved in campaigns to stand up for people who haven’t been able to stand up for themselves, for issues I feel passionately about and for causes which sometimes do not get enough media attention. 

My Experience 

  • Chair of the Student Council 2017-2018
  • Programme Rep 2017-Present 
  • Vice-President / Events Co-ordinator - Amnesty International Society 2017-2019
  • Events Co-ordinator - Law Society 2018-2019
  • Faculty Officer for FLAS 2018-2019
  • President of Mooting Society 2019-Present 
  • Member - UK Youth Parliament 2015-2017
  • Member - Young Essex Assembly 2015-2018 
  • Vice-Chair - Youth Strategy Group for Castle Point 2016-2018 

My experience in the above roles has helped me to develop the confidence required to fight for what is right. I have been able to debate in the House of Commons on issues such as knife crime and mental health. The implementation of initiatives I have been involved in have changed young people’s lives. I understand you have an opinion; I understand you want to be heard; I know I can be the person to deliver.
