What are you studying?
“I have completed two years of the Bachelor’s programme in Sciences Mathematics. I have now taken a break from my studies to work full-time as President of LUNA.”
What made you want to become President of LUNA?
“I have been very active in different parts of the student union and wanted to stay involved. Several of my previous roles have given me experience that is relevant to being President, and my predecessor asked whether I would be interested in taking on the role. I really enjoy being able to help others, and that felt like a big part of what being President of a student union is all about.”
What are you most looking forward to in your new role?
“Above all, I am looking forward to working to ensure that students’ voices are heard. I am also looking forward to taking part in the University’s academic ceremonies and learning more about all the work that takes place together with the other student unions and across the University.”
Which issues are particularly important to you?
“Sustainability, climate and the study environment are issues I personally think about a lot. I have previously taken courses with a focus on sustainability, and I also see a connection between sustainability and the study environment. A safe and supportive study environment can make a real difference to students’ time at university, and I want to contribute to that as much as I can.”
What do you hope science students will feel they can turn to LUNA for?
“Above all, I hope students feel comfortable turning to us. It could be about educational matters or the social study environment, but also simply not knowing who to contact. We can help students find the right person or point them towards the right support. And, of course, during our office hours we also offer company and coffee!”
