Hi, my name is Carla, and I am your newly elected Student President at Abertay.
I’m an international Criminology student who in her spare time enjoys baking, dancing, reading and playing card games with my friends.
During my four years at Abertay I got involved with societies, co-creating the Criminology and Sociology Society in my third year but also with the sports clubs, being the Vice-President of the Badminton Club. Each opportunity enabled me to get closer with my peers and helped students get involved and create a stronger sense of community within the university which I am hoping to keep working on during my term.
Throughout the year I aim to:
- Get sports students more involved with the ASA and improve their representation within the university.
- Work with students themselves to improve their experience through firsthand feedback.
- Improve career readiness and work on employability skills for all students so they are ready to face the working world once they graduate.
