Why did you run for election? I was really angry about how students can be ignored by the college (... and I still am).
Guilty Pleasure Jedward. They are the best thing to ever come out of Ireland! (Don’t quote me on that).
Do you have a hidden talent? I can say the alphabet backwards really fast.

What are you most excited about this year? I'm really excited to see how TU Dublin SU takes shape! We're FINALLY merged and for my final year in the Union I can't wait until we're out of lockdown and safe to all party together, enjoy the socials and have some fun! This year will be really fun regardless as I'll be leaving the end of the year and it's been great to bring Blanch through the merger and deliver it safely at the other end! I'm excited to see what controversy I cause this year, will it be round 2 with Ireland's Taoiseach or nah? Who knows! Stay tuned!
Favorite food spot in Dublin? I actually have a few that I can't decide between! Pita Pit in Blanchardstown is actually to die for, it's affordable healthy food but it's mega lish while being soft on the pocket, and then there's Cornucopia in town, it's a veggie place but oh my god, the food is worth selling your left leg for, if you've ever considered going veggie or vegan and you're proper worried about it tasting rank, try this place out first, it's pricey but it's soooooooo good. Lastly then, you can't beat Elephant Castle's Wings! Must try!
Your funniest lockdown story? I was on a Zoom call with my mates and we were drinking, and I agreed to go see my mate down the country (within lockdown guidelines!) on a whim, so I traveled half-way across Ireland on a whim because I missed my friend so much and we drunkenly agreed to it all. It was a really fab time as well and wore my mask all the way down and back up. But other than that, I've been playing the Witcher 3 and it's been fab.

Fun Fact About Me I never completed secondary school including sitting the leaving cert. Which lead me do do two plc courses one in irish culture and heritage and the other in social care
Funniest Lockdown Story Definitely when a friend of mine dropped a massive bag of crisps and my neighbour took them. The next day i saw him walking out of his driveway eating a bag of my crisps.
Biggest Messer On The Team If we are talking local level is definitely Luke.

If you could be any animal what would it be? A duck; I love ducks. I have a rubber duck stuck to the dashboard of my car, the background for my email and the wallpaper of my phone are pics of ducks, and my friends regularly tag me in duck memes and photos. I also went to see a giant duck in Germany

Due to limits of the data we receive from TU Dublin in order to carry out our online elections, we were not able to run the election for the overall Postgraduate Officer and City Campus College Officers, we hope to run these elections in the next few months. We will keep you posted!

Fun fact about me: (Apparently) I am both 5th generation Italian AND 5th generation cherokee indian!
I ran for election because: I am honestly passionate about advocating for the student voice and doing whatever I can to ensure students from all different walks of life can have their best student experience! I also wanted to be part of shaping TudSU as I believe the foundations laid in the early days will set precedents for years to come! The team last year were brilliant for getting the merger possible, now were "officially" going to be acting as one that great work needs to be continued to benefit students for the foreseeable.
Superpower of choice Invisibility!!! Wouldn't it be great to be able to wander about unseen. Would certainly fulfil that noseyness instinct we all have because you could listen without being seen.... however as uncle Ben said in Spiderman, "With great power comes great responsibility" ;)
