Part Time Officer for the Arts

 

I’m Fay, currently a second year on Film/TV and Media and Communication Joint Honours based mostly at Markeaton Street campus.

I’m a student ambassador for Derby Theatre and have been a programme rep for my course for the past two years where I’ve been able to see the difference giving feedback makes.

I’m super passionate about film and writing and spend a lot of time in the cinema, (probably too much). For a fun, unrelated fact I’m also a qualified yacht crew member.

I’m running for PTO, because I want to work with fellow students to make positive changes in the College of Arts.

On to my aims:

 

  • I’d like to create a stronger sense of community for the students in the college, so we can recognise each other’s talents, collaborate on projects and maybe even enjoy some social events together.

 

  • I’d like to promote more visibility for the amazing work that happens in the College of Arts. I know sometimes we can feel a little out the way and disconnected from the wider community of students especially when we’re all busy on various projects. So I’d like to work on finding a way to promote what we do and show the rest of the University how valuable it is.
