Welfare Representative

Hi everyone! 

I’m Areej, and I’m excited to be your Welfare Representative for the upcoming year. 

I’m currently studying Biomedical Science, and I wanted to become a Student Rep because I care about making sure students feel supported, listened to, and represented. University life can be exciting, but it can also be overwhelming at times, and I want to help create a community where everyone feels comfortable reaching out for support and sharing their experiences. 

If I’m not in a lecture, you’ll probably find me at QM Social. It’s one of my favourite spots on campus because it’s such a relaxed place to catch up with friends, have a chat, or just unwind between classes on the sofas. I’m also a big fan of the Whitechapel campus. As a Biomedical Science student, I spend a lot of time there, and I love the atmosphere and sense of community it has. 

One thing my friends would definitely tell you about me is that I’m obsessed with matcha. If you ever see me around campus, there’s a good chance I’m carrying a matcha from Ground! I’m always happy to hear recommendations for new places to try or to chat about the best campus drinks. 

Outside of university, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, listening to music, and discovering new places around London. I love meeting new people and hearing different perspectives, which is one of the reasons I was drawn to this role in the first place. 

I’m really looking forward to representing you this year, helping make student wellbeing a priority, and working together to create a welcoming and supportive community. Please don’t hesitate to say hi if you see me around campus—I’m always happy to have a chat!
