Hi, my name is Annaline Jones and I would be honoured to be considered for The NUS Delegates role for 2023 to have an opportunity to vote on national policy which will affect myself and all students in Further and Higher Education across the whole of the UK. In particular, I am eager to represent students of the University of Derby. This past year has been both testing and challenging. I pledge to prove myself the right person to do this by dedicating myself to the service of you, my peers. I pride myself in honesty and integrity as well as the courage to stand up for what is right. If you vote for me, I will ensure that our voices are heard at a national level. I believe in supporting international students and aim to increase awareness of obstacles they face. I also feel that an increase in support and funding for mental health and well-being is crucial. Finally, I am dedicated to fighting all forms of discrimination so all students feel safe attending University.
