Hi, my name is Inés.
I graduated in September from Criminology and Sociology.
I have been working for the Student’s Union since July, as the President of Community, Diversity and Inclusion. This role has made a great impact in my life, and I would love to get the opportunity to stay for one more year to finish all the campaigns I have been working on.
If I get re-elected, my main priorities will be:
Community:

Keep working with Kent Police and the Night Time Safety group to provide students with safety at night, especially on nights out.
-
Keep working with the Student Green Office and Ecostudents to make sure we keep helping reduce the carbon footprint as well as more eco-friendly practices.
