What's up UWA! I’m Reana, and I’m running to be your next SPARK Guild President.
As your current Guild Vice President, President of the Desi Students Society, and an OCM on FAWA, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible difference a SPARK Guild can make.
I’m running because I believe you deserve a Guild that listens, delivers, and puts students first. A Guild that creates opportunities, strengthens campus culture, champions clubs, and prepares students for success beyond university through better careers, leadership and networking opportunities.
As a Finance student, I know that great organisations don't stand still, they constantly improve. That's the approach I'll bring as Guild President: building on what works, changing what doesn't, and relentlessly focusing on delivering better outcomes for students.
Together, we can deliver a Guild that's ambitious, responsible, and dedicated to creating the best possible student experience.
To do that, I'm asking you to Vote 1 SPARK.
Hi UWA!
I’m Olivia, a psychology student minoring in brain and behaviour, running for Societies Council President for 2027 with Spark!
As President of the UWA Psychology Society, I’ve learnt that successful societies are built on team accountability, inclusivity, and listening to the students they represent. Leading an almost entirely new committee has shown me the importance of supporting new ideas, empowering committee members, and creating communities where everyone feels they belong.
My own university journey showed me the impact societies can have. As a fresher, I didn’t know anyone in my course and struggled to find my place. Getting involved in societies changed my uni life and showed me that a supportive student community could be invaluable to any and all students.
If elected, I want to advocate for all societies, ensuring every committee feels supported, every voice is heard, and more importantly, acted on.
Hi, I'm Henry Walker, a Bachelor of Philosophy student studying Economics and I'm running to be Ed Council President with SPARK!
I've been a FacSoc exec since I was a fresher, including as Events Manager for ECOMS and Events Vice President for BPhil Union this year, working to strengthen student communities and deliver meaningful opportunities for my peers.
I'm passionate about protecting and improving the quality of education at UWA. SPARK has already delivered major academic reforms like universal 11.59pm submission time and two-day simple extensions, but there's still more to do. I want to ensure students continue to receive a high-quality, fair and modern education, while standing up for stronger teaching standards, practical learning opportunities and policies that genuinely support student success and outcomes.
That's why I'm running to be your Education Council President for 2027. Together, we can keep building a better university for every student.
Hello UWA!
I'm Alexa, a Commerce student majoring in Business Law, and I'm running for Public Affairs Council President!
Studying Business Law has shown me that process shapes outcomes, I believe student advocacy works the same way, it only succeeds when it's grounded in real listening. I'm passionate about building a university experience where every student's voice shapes decisions made on their behalf.
I currently serve as the Vice President of the UWA Filipino-Australian Society, having previously served as Events Director leading a 30-person committee, now grown to 40 in 2026, through event planning, logistics, and club administration. From running Diamante, our cultural expo supporting ChildHope Philippines, to coordinating fundraising and venue logistics, I've seen firsthand what it takes to turn ideas into action.
This is the kind of leadership I want to bring to the Public Affairs Council. Present, prepared, and ready to act on what students actually need.
Hey UWA! I’m Hana, a Political Science student, proud Trinity resident, and I’m running for General Secretary with SPARK!
Since starting at UWA, I’ve thrown myself into campus life through clubs and societies including Arts Union, PROSH, CAWA and RSD. As your 2026 Women’s Officer, I’ve led the Speak Up campaign to raise awareness of gender-based violence and sexual harassment, while working to make our campus safer and more inclusive for everyone.
My time at UWA has shown me just how important a strong, student-led Guild is. The opportunities I’ve had, the communities I’ve found, and the experiences I’ve enjoyed have all been made possible by students who stepped up to make campus better.
As General Secretary, I’ll work hard behind the scenes to keep the Guild strong, well-organised and accountable, so it can continue delivering for every student. I’d love your support and your vote for SPARK!
Hi, I'm Verity, a Juris Doctor student, and I'm running for Women's Officer with SPARK!
Over the past few years, student leadership has become a real focus for me. This year I'm serving as equity VP of Blackstone, after starting out as First Year Rep last year. a role that showed me how much of a difference genuine advocacy and follow-through can make for students navigating university life. I was also involved with the Arts Union during my undergraduate degree, which gave me a broader view of student representation outside a single faculty.
These experiences have taught me that good representation means listening first and acting decisively second. If elected as Women's Officer, I want to bring that same hands-on approach, building on existing initiatives, staying accessible, and making sure students' concerns translate into real outcomes.
Hi, I’m Ruby, a Conservation and Marine Biology student running to be your 2027 Environment Officer. I have always had a passion for the environment, growing up in rural Northwest WA, I moved to Perth in 2025 and fell in love with UWA and its community culture. This year I have served on the Guild as an Ordinary Guild Councillor, leading a campaign called Fund Our Future, fighting for UWA to divest portfolios from fossil fuels. I am also the president of AYCC UWA, the hub for climate activism on campus, and a Residential Advisor at Tommy More College. I am driven, passionate, and want nothing more than to help create and maintain a more sustainable UWA for all. We as students deserve to go to a university that puts our futures first. We deserve real change. If elected, I will work hard for you so this can be achieved.
Hi everyone! My name’s Melanie, I’m a Biomedical sciences student with an assured pathway to medicine, and I have the absolute honour of running for Wellbeing Officer with SPARK!
Having grown up rurally as a shy, only child, moving up to Perth by myself was terrifying. Through various student guild and club-run events, I met so many amazing people, which made me feel more at ease and showing me the importance of students having spaces to connect and feel supported.
Being HSS Welfare Officer, Relay for Life VP, embracing college row life, and volunteering across campus, has given me further exposure to the necessity of creating a positive university experiences for all students, as well as supporting and uplifting peers no matter their circumstances.
If elected, I’ll endeavour to continue building a supportive campus environment, striving to put your wellbeing first!
Hello UWA! I’m Austin, I study Chemical Engineering and Physics, am the current VP of Sober and I’m running for your Guild Sports Officer!
Having played social basketball, netball, volleyball and now ultimate frisbee, I’ve experienced how sport brings people together. Whether you’re a competitive player, trying a new sport, or looking to meet new people, every student should have the opportunity to be involved and feel welcome. I believe sport is a key part of the university experience, and it has the power to bring people together and form a stronger campus culture.
If elected as Sports Officer, I aim to create more opportunities to strengthen UWA’s sporting culture. I want to see more social competitions, better promotion of sporting events and stronger support for clubs so it’s easier for students to stay connected. Most importantly, I’ll listen to students and clubs and turn your ideas into action.
Hey everyone! I'm Aiden, and I'm running to be your Ordinary Guild Councillor with SPARK.
Having studied economics and finance at UWA for 2 years now, I’ve seen that university is about more than just study. I’m currently on the SLAYA committee, meeting amazing people and getting involved. I’ve been in leadership roles since my first year and love making new friends and getting involved on campus, as well as playing sport.
As your Guild Councillor, I'll bring enthusiasm, fresh ideas, and a genuine commitment to making campus life even better. Whether it's supporting clubs, encouraging student involvement, or helping create a more welcoming community for everyone, I'll work to ensure that students have the opportunity to make the most of their time at UWA.
I'd love your support and your vote!
Hey UWA!
My name is Elina and I’m studying a Bachelor of Human Rights and I’m happy to say I’m running for Ordinary Guild Councillor with Spark.
In my first year at UWA, I have seen first hand how powerful student unionism can be at this university. Serving as a fresher representative on both Arts Union and Blackstone, I know how important our community is in fostering an environment where everyone feels represented, safe, and welcome.
During my time in the women’s department, I have seen the Guild’s potential to make a real difference. But this change doesn’t come about by itself; it takes passionate people who will endlessly advocate for the cause and rights of students. This is what I promise to give as an OGC.
If elected, I promise to work on fostering a strong, student-led Guild focusing on advocacy, representation, and real student leadership.
Hi everyone! My name is Isobel, and I’m running as an OGC with SPARK.
I’m in my first year studying Global Business and Modern Languages, and over this year I have really enjoyed being a fresher in KCC! The opportunity to meet so many people, make connections, and have a role in making a change has been incredibly valuable and enjoyable.
I believe that uni is about more than just study and will advocate for a vibrant multicultural campus culture that is essential to student life.
As OGC, I will advocate for those who feel they cannot speak up. Being a part of UWA’s thriving multicultural scene has shown me educating those with biases is key to creating an environment of cohesion, productivity, and inclusivity. I believe that awareness of these issues would make UWA a more comfortable place for students of all backgrounds and representation.
Hey UWA! I'm Jack, a second-year Psychology and Business Economics student, and I'm running for Ordinary Guild Councillor with SPARK!
Being a Residential Assistant at St Catherine's College has taught me what good leadership and student advocacy look like. I work with students from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate moving cities, university life, solving problems, and feeling supported. While I love making a difference within my college, I'd love the opportunity to represent and advocate for the wider UWA community.
This year I've also volunteered as Advocacy Officer for the Pride Department and currently serve as an Ordinary Council Member for the Residential Students' Department. These roles have strengthened my passion for student representation and shown me how important it is to listen to students.
I'm passionate about continuing to create an inclusive and student-focused Guild. If elected, I'll work to ensure students are heard, represented, and supported.
Hello UWA!
I’m James, a student majoring in Engineering and Accounting, and I’m running for Ordinary Guild Councillor in with Spark because I want to be a genuine voice for our student community!!
As a content creator, I’ve contributed across various clubs on campus, which has exposed me to the different cultures and perspectives that make up our student body. This has taught me how to listen, adapt and use my platform not just to spread awareness, but as a real voice for students.
Living on campus as a resident keeps me immersed in everyday student life and culture, so I understand our community from the inside out.
As a Marketing Officer for Enactus, I thrive in team dynamics, bringing creative energy and confidently pitching strong, sustainable ideas while valuing collaboration just as much!
I’m optimistic, ambitious and outgoing, and I’d love to bring the same energy and commitment forward!
Hey UWA! I’m Mahek, an undergrad medical student and I’m running for Ordinary Guild Councillor with SPARK!
If my involvement in leadership during highschool from Head Prefect to UWA Young Leaders Council have taught me anything, it’s the impact passionate and proactive leadership can have on shaping student experience, but similarly the fulfilment from contributing towards an essential cause. This cause being amplifying and advocating for your voices in the discussions that matter to you the most.
My work on HSS, WAMSS and Public Affairs Council have provided me with skills in event coordination, marketing and educative awareness. Remember, there is no uni without u and I, no unity without u and I, and no community without u and I.
So, if YOU vote me, I’LL utilise my experience, drive and openness to learn to work towards transforming university from a place of study to a place of connection!
Hello UWA! I am Mithil Shinde, a Civil Engineering Student and Vice President of The Civil Society, and I am running for Ordinary Guild Councillor with Spark.
Through my experience in student leadership I’ve helped organise events, grow engagement and build stronger connections between students, clubs and industry.
UWA is falling behind other universities in industry engagement, professional networking and employability and I will do everything I can to reverse that. If elected I’ll advocate for more career and networking opportunities, stronger industry partnerships and a significant increase in funding for career-focused and industry-connected clubs.
I’ll also push for a stronger UWA culture by supporting student events, clubs and initiatives that make campus more active and connected. I will advocate for practical improvements students care about, especially more accessible parking!
I believe in a Guild that listens to students and fights to deliver practical outcomes.
Hello UWA! I'm Panav a second-year commerce student majoring in Finance and Business Economics, and running for Ordinary Guild Councillor with SPARK!
I’ve spent my time at UWA fully immersed in student life. Through my roles with ECOMS, Ignite Mentoring, WAUC, and the Desi Student Society, as well as running my own charity programs, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible impact that dedicated student leadership can have when it's driven by real action.
I know what it takes to bring people together, listen to what students actually need, and turn feedback into practical improvements, whether that's better support for student societies, improved campus amenities, or clearer communication from the Guild.
If elected, I’ll bring a grounded, practical approach to representation, ensuring your voice is directly heard and advocated for.
Hello UWA!
My name is Riley and I am currently studying Psychology, and I’m running for Ordinary Guild Councillor!
As a Psychology student at UWA for the past 2 years, I have seen first hand the social and emotional challenges that all students face throughout their times in university. I am passionate about creating a university experience where every voice is heard and everyone is looked after.
I currently serve on committee for Asian Students In Australia as the Head of Charity and have personally seen how student-led initiatives can make a wider impact on the community. I would like to apply my experience with Asia to the Guild Council and contribute on a larger scale across the University.
If elected as OGC, I would work to make the Guild more accessible, approachable, accountable and focused on action, not just talk.
My name is Ru, and I’m a second-year neuroscience student. I will be running for Ordinary Guild Councillor.
Since starting my journey at UWA, I have found my community in the Australian-Chinese Youth Association (ACYA) and the UWA Bubble Tea (BBTSUWA) club. As an ordinary committee member for ACYA and current Vice President of BBTSUWA, I have learned incredible leadership, communication and teamwork skills from the challenges each club has faced behind-the-scenes between promoting events and the actual event.
These experiences have shown me how much dedication students put into making campus life vibrant and inclusive. Every student who invests their time, energy and passion into the UWA community deserves to have their voice heard.
The skills I've developed have taught me the importance of listening, collaborating and finding practical solutions. If elected, I want to advocate for a Guild that is approachable, transparent and genuinely responsive to student needs.
Hi UWA!
I’m Shannon, a Master’s of Infectious Diseases student, and I am running for Ordinary Guild Councillor with SPARK.
I’ve spent the past four years at UWA’s residential college, University Hall, where I’ve experienced college life. I have connected with many students from a diverse range of backgrounds and have appreciated how different students have varying needs and priorities.
I’m currently UniHall’s Residents’ Club President, where I help manage a team of 19 student leaders working to enhance college life. Additionally, I have been a part of other committees, such as the International Students, Volunteers, and Academic Advancement Committees. I’ve become incredibly passionate about creating change and taking action to address the issues that matter most.
If elected as OGC, I’ll strive to bring valued initiatives that meaningfully support daily student life, while ensuring the Guild remains strong with integrity, and an inclusive voice for all students.
Hello UWA!
I'm Su, a third-year Psychology and Marketing student, and I'm excited to be running with Spark for Ordinary Guild Councillor.

These roles have strengthened my leadership, communication, and teamwork skills while showing me what strong campus culture can look like.
Outside of university, I volunteered with Surf Life Saving for five years and currently work as a bartender.

Hey UWA! I’m Tulip, and I am incredibly excited to be running for an OCM position with Spark!
I am honoured to be a resident at St George’s College, and absolutely love immersing myself in college and university culture; whether that be through clubs such as PsySoc, PROSH or RSD.
This year I was fortunate enough to run as the St George’s Ladies Club Executive, providing women and non-binary people at college with a safe environment to raise concerns, share ideas and feel heard. It has been an incredibly motivating role, that has inspired me to continue actively advocating for women’s rights.
I am determined to support student wellbeing, and will advocate for safer female initiatives. Every student deserves to know their voice matters. With your support, I’ll work to make sure women across UWA are represented and empowered.
Hi everyone!
I'm Ange, a Bachelor of Commerce student majoring in Business Law and Marketing, and I'm running for NUS with Spark!
Getting involved in student life has been at the heart of my university experience. I served as Head of Intra for the Multicultural Students Union (MSU) and Events Officer for INDOSS in 2025. This year, as President of MSU I’ve helped deliver events that bring students together. I’ve worked with students and committees to create spaces where people can build connections and feel a sense of belonging.
These experiences have shown how important strong student representation is and I believe it is important to advocate on issues affecting campus life or the broader challenges within education.
As your NUS Delegate, I'll work to represent UWA students, advocate for our community and ensure your concerns are raised, initiating conversations that shape the future of your campus life.
Hi all, I’m Christina, a first-year Master of Science student in Marine Biology, and I’m running to represent UWA as an NUS delegate.
Having completed my undergraduate degree at UWA, I understand many of the academic, financial and professional challenges students face throughout university.
As President of the Students of Biological Sciences, I work with my team to create accessible academic, social and professional development opportunities for students.
This experience has shown me the importance of representatives who listen to students and turn their concerns into meaningful action.

I’m ready to dive into the issues that matter and make sure UWA students have a voice at the national table!
Hey everyone! I'm Elyssa, a final-year Podiatry student and I’m excited to be running for NUS Delegate with SPARK!
Moving from Brisbane to study at UWA showed me how important it is to feel welcomed, supported, and heard. Every student deserves that sense of belonging, no matter their background or degree.
As the current President of the Podiatric Medicine Student Society, and an allied health student, I understand the unique challenges of placements, demanding workloads, and balancing study with everything else. If elected, I'll advocate for stronger support and ensure allied health students have a voice in national conversations. If we don’t have a seat at the table, our voices won’t be heard!
I'd love your support in giving me that voice so I can help ensure every UWA student is represented at the NUS!
Hi UWA!
My name is Isabella, and I’m a Bphil student who majors in French and Business Management. I’m running to be your representative for the National Union of Students!
As a language student, I know how it feels to be one of the majors that is less represented in conversations that the federal government has regarding university degrees. I’m dedicated to being a part of change where ALL degrees are seen as important. From belonging to both to the commerce and arts sides of the university life, I bring a multidisciplinary outlook to this conversation that allows me to best represent the voices of ALL university students.
I engage in campus life by being apart of committees like ECOMS, UWACS, WAGA, French Club, being a UniMentor and more. If elected as your NUS representative, I will listen, understand, and act upon your concerns!
Hi UWA, I'm Kiarn, a third-year Chemical Engineering and Finance student, and I’m running to represent you as a National Union of Students delegate with SPARK!
Since starting at UWA, I've built my degree around student leadership, serving as Welfare Vice President of the Chemical Process Engineering Club, alongside committee roles in ECOMS and UEC. Running orientation, panel nights, and welfare initiatives, including supporting women and underrepresented groups in engineering, has shown me firsthand what students need to feel included and heard.
Studying two demanding degrees while balancing societies, work and events has taught me how to fight hard for people's time, resources and voice and I want to bring that same energy to representing UWA on a national stage. Through commerce and STEM I’ve had access to a wide variety of student perspectives which if elected, I'll make sure are listened to, and backed by action at the NUS.
Hi all, Ollie Barrett here for another Guild election season - yippee! Leading the Guild this year as President has given me and my SPARK team the opportunity to focus on the real issues facing students. From the Smartrider and Unpaid Placement Grants, to securing $2.4 million from the university for new student spaces, to introducing drink-spike-testing kits in the Tav, our focus has been on continual improvements for students on campus, and we’ve been proud to deliver these wins.
I first stepped foot on this beautiful campus in 2022, and have loved my time here every day since. This university is comprised of amazing people, and the experience we all get doesn’t happen without dedicated work from student leaders in committees, clubs, and the Guild. I’m excited to run with this passionate, dedicated team and would be honoured to represent UWA at the National Union of Students Conference.
