My name is Irene, and I am super stoked that I have been re-elected as your RSU Vice President of Education for the 2025 – 2026 academic year!
A little bit about me, in 2021 I moved from Chicago to London to study on the BA Primary Education (QTS) course here at Roehampton. However, early into my studies, I learned about the BA Education Studies programme, which really piqued my interest. The Education Studies course enabled me to be able to learn about educational policy, inclusive education, the psychology behind learning, and so much more. As someone who desires to contribute to a positive change in the education system, I decided that this programme of study was the perfect fit for me; therefore, I put in an application to switch courses and never looked back.
During my time at Roehampton, I have gained a lot of experience working with the Student Engagement Team, being a Programme Representative and a Student Representative on the revalidation panel for several programmes, and serving as your VP of Education this past year.
Now as your returning Vice President of Education, I have lots of exciting plans in store for this upcoming academic year, from enhancing Wellbeing Wednesday’s, implementing English courses for our international students, to working on community focused projects, I can’t wait to get started!
Looking forward to an incredible year! 😊
