As your VP of Academics, I will strive to combine my experience and core values together to coordinate the academic department, and enhance the academic experience of both students and staff alike. Most importantly, I want to make the student voice heard. Academic excellence is the primary essence of universities, and from a rational point of view - the quality of the education received in a university is what creates the justification for fees and all the years spent studying!

Being part of the Academic Team doesn't just mean that we have to ensure that things are going how they supposed to be - exams having no hiccups, or having monthly meetings with class reps and staff to ensure everything is going just fine; however, as your next VP, I aim to go above and beyond to bring about changes that further enhances the learning experience of students. This goes beyond just the printed grades on your paper, but also to your overall wellbeing. My goal is to create a conducive and supportive learning environment for all Heriot-Watt students, and I strive to shape and strengthen the system to provide the needed support for you. I want to encourage and use my resources to supplement a system where students and staff alike are on the same page in terms of academic progression and milestones.

I aim to enhance and improve the academic experience for students, and progress into a more dynamic academic department that acts as a single vocal chord for thousands of voices.
