Hi! My name's Matt and it's only right to start with an introduction so you can get to know me as person as well as a candidate. I am an international student from Trinidad and Tobago, and I came to London in 2017 with the aim of earning a degree in Biochemistry.

In my time here I have met a large number of amazing individuals who, like myself, started their journey at London Met with high aspirations and grand career goals in mind. I have passionately dedicated my time as a student in learning and improving myself while helping to generate activities that are student focused. It is my wish to see my peers well-equipped to obtain and lead fulfilling careers after they graduate.

The year 2020 will probably see over seven hundred thousand plus applicants to universities across the UK, and it is my hope that both current and prospective students have the right facilities and opportunities at their disposal to help them navigate through their journeys of academic self-improvement.

If elected I am willing to be 100% dedicated to the role of serving students as a full-time sabbatical officer and I would be honoured to gain your support.
