My name is Raaina Kumar and I’m running to be your Business Rep because I believe that encouraging students to voice their ideas can lead to better solutions for our educational community.

I’m a first-year business management student and an active member of two societies. I am passionate about increasing departmental career support and running more networking events.

I served as the head of the business committee at my previous school, where I organised business events to promote more in-field experience for business students, developing leadership and communication skills. Additionally, my internship with PUMA in marketing allowed me to gain practical skills in branding and outreach.

Having personally experienced the frustration of finding reliable resources for profile building and networking, I know what can be changed to make the student experience more personalized and effective.

Vote for me, and let’s shape the next generation of future business leaders! #VoteRaainaKumar

I am running for EPMS School Rep to enhance student employability and academic experience. Having recruited over 120 college grads in my career as a cybersecurity leader, I understand the skills that make graduates industry-ready. As an MSc Information Security student with 20+ years in engineering leadership, I bring expertise in bridging academia and real-world demands. I will advocate for stronger career support, networking opportunities, and industry-aligned learning. With my problem-solving and stakeholder engagement skills, I will ensure student concerns are addressed effectively. Let’s make this year one of growth and opportunity for all.

Dear Students,

My name is Basmah Alhumedhi, and I am excited to run for School Representative for the School of Life Sciences and the Environment. As a first-year psychology student, I am dedicated to improving your Royal Holloway experience by ensuring your voice is heard and your concerns are addressed. This won’t be about me; this will be about you!

Coming from a diverse international school gave me the privilege to deeply value inclusivity. I will ensure that all of you feel seen, heard, and empowered. Communicating with the department of LSE, I will advocate for the changes that matter most to you, whether it’s academic support, mental health awareness, or more assertive faculty communication.

I don’t just talk—I take action. Your ideas will be transformed into real, meaningful improvements. Together, we can create a more supportive and engaging community.

Vote Basmah for School Rep—because your voice matters!

Hello! I’m Dominika and I’m running for the position of School Representative for the Life Sciences and the Environment. I’m striving to continue developing a school that provides a thriving environment for personal and academic growth for all LSE students.

Students should have lectures centred and catered towards their learning, with excellent embedded support throughout their degree- I believe change towards this starts with a reframing of; teaching structure, activities available, support offered in-person and outside of the lecture theatres.

My experience as a School Rep for the LSE 24/25 has taught me how to effectively advocate for students, driving discussions and working-groups which focus on actions targeting feedback. I’ve successfully supported academic reps and students, organised and hosted networking opportunities and began an action plan for improving personal tutoring across LSE departments.

I’ll consistently work to adapt, evolve and enrich the experience of students within the LSE. #Dom4LSE

I am an enthusiastic, empathetic, and determined individual passionate about supporting student welfare. I am dedicated to representing and uplifting the voices of my peers, particularly those which often go unheard. I would act as a bridge between staff and students to maintain, support, and improve student experience within the PDA school, while comprehensively recording any feedback, actions, and changes. As a postgraduate, I have already experienced, and supported others through, university’s challenges from matriculation to graduation. During my undergraduate degree at Durham University, I worked as Welfare Officer, Year Out Rep, Year Abroad Champion, and a Nightline Volunteer. These roles have given me vast experience in assisting, and championing positive change for, my fellow students. In these positions, and in my personal life, I have a track record of facilitating community and collaboration amongst my peers, and would relish the chance to do so in the PDA school.
