Hey there!

My name is Margarita Damai and I am running for the position of the NUS Delegate. This year I was officer for the School of Human Sciences and The Guildhall School of Business and Law.

Being an officer was one of the best experiences of my life. I was able to push myself beyond my limits, and in fact I understood that there were no limits, if you believe and have that strong burning desire within your heart to succeed. I was an EU-student, who had little to no idea on democracy, I just knew that I wanted to help others like me, stand for them, be their voice and lead them towards their success. Listening to my heart contributed to a stronger passion for my goals. 

One of the best experiences as an officer so far, apart from meeting a lot of students and running campaigns, was to give several speeches at my School Graduation Ceremonies. Speaking in the Great Hall made me realise that I was not that anxious little girl who struggled with English anymore. I had been able to challenge my greatest fear, public speaking. And now, it is the time to help empower other women students, who like me, want to have a strong voice, achieve success and follow their dreams. 

What are my promises to you as an NUS delegate

I was a NUS delegate in 2021 and I have a great understanding of the importance of the NUS conference.  I believe that I can represent our university and the students union for the following reasons

1. I have a great knowledge of the policies and campaigns that the NUS is running,so I would be able to have a valuable contribution in the decision making process

2. I have excellent communication skills, so I believe that I could provide arguments needed to either support or contest the campaigns at our best interest

3. I have leadership skills needed to speak openly in public and influence discussion.

4. I am determined and passionate about students experience and I put a great emphasis on represent each of our single needs

5. I am a critical thinker, so I will make sure that I will evaluate the importance of each campaign or policy that the NUS is proposing, before making a decision.

Making changes is difficult, butI promise that I will make this happen. I know that I can, and I will. For as long as the mind can conceive the heart can achieve. I am aware of the obstacles and challenges that this role entails, but I will either find a way, or invent a new one. You are never too young to build an empire, and never too old to chase a dream. I believe in us!

So, what are you waiting for? Take my hand, and let me lead you towards your success. Together towards success.
