Chloe Field
Deputy President 2020/21
Why did you decide to nominate yourself to be a Student Officer? After the 2019 general election, I felt incredibly frustrated at the direction our country was going at and often felt very powerless. I could see there was a lot of stuff at University that desperately needed changing such as better support for sexual violence survivors and the cost of student rents. I believed that running for student officer would provide that space for change and influence in making life better for students!
What was running in the Elections like?It was incredibly scary at first and I knew I was stepping out of my comfort zone, however it was such an amazing experience once I got into it! It really boost my confidence and also helped me develop a variety of skills.
How has being a student officer impacted your future?I loved being a student officer and made me inspired and confident enough to want to make more change at a national level; leading to me running for and getting elected as Vice President for NUS!

One of my proudest achievements during my time as Guild President was renaming a Halls of Residence in Greenbank.
We now celebrate Dorothy Kuya, who was a Human Rights Activist from Liverpool after years of campaigning and lobbying, from previous students and Guild officers. As Guild President, I was able to sit at various senior committees at the University.
