LGBTQUA+ Officers

Hi :) My name is Summer, and I will be your CO-LGBTQUA+ Officer for the next year, alongside Ariane. I will be pushing to make sure that the needs of the queer community here at Warwick are on both the SU and University's agendas, so we can tackle the issues that are important to our community.

Course:
Politics, Philosophy and Law (I have just finished a year abroad in Brussels… yes they do have the best beer)

Hometown:
Shepperton (A village no one has heard of, Thorpe Park is close-by though and I used to work there)

Fun facts about me:
I booked 3 tattoos for my first tattoo, and they were all cats. Also I’ve seen My Chemical Romance live!

My role and what I hope to achieve this year:
Our main focuses are on the wellbeing of LGBTQUA+ students at Warwick, and making sure queer students can feel safe, free, and part of a community.
