I am a 27 year old, 2nd year arts/law student. I became interested in the Students' Association during Capping Week during which I was co-opted onto the committee and spent a hilarious few weeks trying to keep my head on straight. After that I was hooked, and I stood for SRC Co-ordinator at the bi-election and was elected against a frightening opposition of none.

I am standing for Woman Vice- President as it is a vitally important role in the executive. The position is one of helping ease the President's burden, championing women's rights on campus, helping Women's Rights Officers ensure Association policy is carried out, to help run the campus social life, and organise campaigns. I am extremely interested in women's rights. As a past solo mother and now with a battle for custody, the discrimination against those who wish to bring up children alone and pursue a university career is very real to me.

I'm Secretary of Cultural Affairs Committee, on Professorial Board and have helped with numerous hops and concerts.

I was very active also in Education Fightback and with the introduction of the iniquitous TSG, the fight will still be on next year.

Finally, as an older student I feel I will be able to bring experience and maturity into the position.
