Hi everyone, I’m Kean, and I am running to be your Wellbeing Representative for BMB Y1!

My primary goal would be for our year group to feel more connected, confident, and supported both inside and outside the classroom.

Starting a new course at a new place with a huge BMB cohort does feel overwhelming, and I know many people (but not everyone, though...) have found it difficult to speak up in class or to meet others beyond their TBL or LP1 groups. I want to change that by helping to create a community where everyone feels comfortable, valued, and heard.

If elected, I’d work to:

• Build stronger connections across the year by organising more inclusive socials and informal meetups, so it’s easier to meet people outside of small group settings, but also to get to know your TBL groups better, to ensure a more comfortable working environment for everyone
• Encourage confidence and open communication by promoting a safe, welcoming environment where students feel comfortable sharing ideas and concerns in or out of class
• Support general well-being for all by listening to your feedback and making sure it’s represented in meetings, as well as highlighting the resources available for anyone struggling with stress, anxiety, or the pressures of new university life.

My goal is to make sure no one feels like “just another student” in a vast cohort, but part of a supportive, friendly, and confident community.

Let’s make BMB a space where everyone feels like they belong!! 🤍
