Each year in February, students put themselves forward to run for a full-time, paid position as a Student Leader. They campaign for votes and every Essex student will have an equal chance to 'vote like a student' and choose who they want to be elected into each of the 6 roles. This is the SU Leadership Election.

NATASHA WILSON

Support everyone, oppress no one

I am a gay women, I came out when I was 23 years old. I was faced with a lot of challenges and stigmas so I understand how scary it can be to advocate for yourself and your own needs. I understand the need for a judgement free space, to feel supported and listened too. I helped facilitate a LGBTQ+ support group before I graduated at the university I attended when I did my undergrad. I would love the chance to keep up that work and be someone that individuals within the community can come to whenever they want or need too. For a friendly chat or to chat through any issues or dilemmas.
