Hi, my name’s Luca and I’m standing to be first year rep for Marine Biology!

I want to be course rep for you because I want to give back to the people I’ve met on my course. Obviously, there isn’t many of us - which I think means that, as a group, we will be much closer in the coming years, and I want to make sure it’s the best 3 years possible.

Marine Biology isn’t an insanely common degree, so sometimes it might get overlooked or forgotten about, I know it did when I received a confused “um, ok, that’s unusual” from my UCAS referee after telling her my choices. I want to make it so Marine Biology students are always having the best experience, and that our issues don't get overlooked like Michelle in Destiny's Child.

To summarise: I want to make it so everyone’s voice gets heard, and not drowned out by zoology because there’s genuinely hundreds of them.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you pick me as your next course rep!
