Hey Kathryn, can you start with telling us a bit about yourself? What are you studying?
Hi, I'm a 3rd year student from Sussex and I study Law. Apart from studying I spend most of my time at uni either running the riding club or volunteering at Exeter Court. I try to sneak in a few nights out as well.
What are your plans for life after university?
The plan is to get a Training Contract at a good law firm in London and qualify into corporate litigation. However, I wish this was as easy as it sounds, so fingers crossed!
Why did you decide to run for Guild President? What are you hoping to bring to the role?
I've never been one to grumble about something and not try to do anything about it. Everyday I hear someone complain about an area they don't feel is quite right, and I want to do something about it. I want to listen to the students and make sure they are getting what they want out of their university experience. After all… if I was paying £9,000 I would expect my monies worth.
I am tenacious and relish a challenge, but I also enjoy having fun. I hope that I will be able to bring all the skills I have learnt over the years to the role of Guild Pres, whilst ensuring that I do great job.
Any campaign strategies you can tell us about? Costumes, stickers, generally shouting slogans at students?
Im still concocting some plans so at the moment there isn't much I can give away. But most importantly I plan on having a chat and letting people get to know me. Also, trying not to have students running away from me by the end of the week, as they are fed up of being asked if they have voted, would be a bonus!
Vote Fest is obviously all about combining music and voting. What sort of music do you like? Any favourite bands?
My music taste is pretty eclectic and ranges from very cheesy to classical to drum and bass. Im pretty open minded though, and love it when friends point out new things to listen to… I have been introduced to a couple of very interesting songs that way.
My music really depends on my mood and what Im doing, but, if I had to pick someone Mumford and Sons would be up there.
Any last words you have for our readers?
Just that I really hope everyone votes for someone in the elections. I don't think I ever appreciated how much work goes into these campaigns until I'm now sitting here doing it. A couple of years ago Exeter had the highest amount of students turn out to vote in the country; it would be great if we could do it again.
