Campus should feel alive, full of energy and connection.
As Guild Vice-President, I’ve worked to build a culture where students are seen, supported and thrive. I’ve helped deliver major wins like 2-day extensions, 4000+ free meals during exam season, $6 house wine and more. As St Catherine’s College Co-President and Residential Advisor, I listened to, supported, and strengthened community.
But I’m not finished, not even close.
I’m running for Guild President with SPARK because I believe in a student-led change. The kind of change that solves problems. I’ve seen what SPARK has achieved by putting students first, and I know that together, we can do even more.
In 2026, I’ll lead a Guild that is more engaged and ambitious, continuing to grow campus life, improve student experience, and ensure every student has a seat and voice at the table.
Together, we can build a Guild for everyone. SPARK UP ⚡️
I’m Jonathan Tay and I’m running to be your SOC President for 2026. I’m studying a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in Finance and Economics. I’m the President of WAGA, founder of CuppaBeats and committee member at FAWA but more importantly, I know what it’s like to start from scratch.
When I began building my own club and projects, I didn’t have all the answers. It was overwhelming at times, but I kept going because I believed in creating spaces where people feel seen, supported and connected. I’ve always been driven and independent, but I also know how much having the right support matters.
As SOC President, I want to build on the work of those before me and help create a more connected and vibrant student culture. With SPARK, I’ll work with clubs to make processes clearer, make them more accessible and bring your ideas to life.
Hi, I’m Emily, a second-year Bachelor of Commerce student majoring in Accounting and Marketing. This year, I’ve had the privilege of serving as Education Vice President for the Economics and Commerce Students’ Society (ECOMS), where I have been able to firsthand see the work of a SPARK-led Education Council. I have also been an Ordinary Committee Member for the UWA Marketing Society and a consultant for WAUC.
I’m passionate about driving positive change in education and ensuring that every student can succeed. My time in student leadership has shown me how student-run initiatives can build community and student success, so I truly understand the importance of FACSOCs. I want to advocate for policies and initiatives that make it easier for students to thrive, and I believe the best way to achieve positive change is through a SPARK Guild.
That’s why I’m running to be your Education Council President for 2025.
I’m Tara Mishra and I’m in my first year of the Juris Doctor. I’m currently the Vice-President of the Japanese Studies Society and have been on the committee since 2022. Outside of university, I’m the captain of my hockey team and love getting involved in volunteering whenever I can!
I’m running for President of the Public Affairs Council because I’m passionate about creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for all PAC clubs. UWA is a diverse community, and PAC plays an important part in representing that diversity, which is why creating an inclusive environment is so important. I also want to make sure every club has equal opportunities, fair representation, and a safe space where people feel comfortable speaking up.
I believe strong club culture starts with good leadership, and I’m committed to helping make that happen.
Hi! My name is Annabelle, I’m 19 years old and I’m excited to be running for the position of General Secretary with SPARK. I’ve had the privilege of living in Thailand, Dubai, Vietnam and Malaysia which has given me a diverse perspective, but Australia is my home.
Studying a double Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Commerce has allowed me to connect with a wide range of students across different disciplines, leading me to become actively involved as an ECOMS Events Manager, UWAMS OCM, and in Science Union. These experiences have given me the skills and drive to serve as a member of the Guild Executive, manage the budget and write the monthly minutes.
I want to champion an open, transparent Guild that represents the voices and experiences of ALL students equally. We deserve stronger and more inclusive representation.
That’s why I’m running with SPARK.
Hi! I’m Ava Ebbutt, and I’m running for Women’s Officer with SPARK! I’m currently studying biomedical science and stay at Unihall where I work as the Intercollege Rep. I also serve as the Media Officer for Science Union, where I help amplify student voices and promote inclusive, engaging events.
Being part of UWA has deepened my passion for strengthening and making our community more inclusive. While we’ve made progress in making UWA more inclusive, there’s still so much more to do.
With the current loss of fair representation in political landscapes, I’ve seen how damaging it can be when voices are left unheard. It’s not just about making space for women and non-binary students, it’s about making sure we’re heard, acknowledged, and celebrated.
If elected, I’ll work hard to keep pushing for real action, not just acknowledgment, to make long lasting change at UWA.
Hey! I'm Zered Robinson, a second-year Wildlife Conservation student running for Environmental Officer with SPARK. I’m passionate about campus culture and championing sustainability at UWA, which is why I’ve made the effort to get involved.
I’ve contributed to St Catherine’s College, served on the RSD Committee, and held roles like Partnerships Officer on Bloom, Exec member on Sober?, Environmental Representative on Science Union, Treasurer of SNAGS, Social Representative for Zoology, and OCM on the Marine Biology Club. Through these roles, I’ve gained experience running both educational and large-scale social events. I’ve also reintroduced AYCC UWA and, as President, am leading efforts to promote environmental responsibility and student engagement.
I believe a thriving campus is one where clubs are supported, students are connected, and sustainability is prioritised. As Environmental Officer, I’ll back student-led initiatives, advocate for greener practices, and championing inclusivity, and environmental awareness.
SPARK UP! ⚡️
Hi, my name is Jennifer Woo. I am 19 years old studying Finance and Business Economics under the Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours). I am currently the Head of Charity of ASIA (Asian Students in Australia) for 2025, a student-run club providing students with a community where they can feel a sense of belonging and comfort within University. I have organised various Charity events, with over 200 occupants and have worked with various Charities such as the Cancer Council, Ignite Mentoring and others.
I believe that prioritising one’s wellbeing is the first step to living a content and fulfilled life, as it is an area that is often neglected once the pressure of tests, work and other commitments are added to the mix. Since I am on my own journey of prioritising my wellbeing within life, I believe that I would be a relatable and approachable candidate for Wellbeing Officer.
Hi, I’m Zen, a student-athlete running for Sports Officer with SPARK.
As a Psychology student and Student representative of the UWA Wrestling Club, I’ve seen how sport can build connection, confidence, and community. My involvement has shown me the positive impact sport has on student life, and I want every student to have access to that experience.
I’m passionate about making sport more accessible to all students, regardless of background, experience, or ability. Whether you want to compete or simply stay active and social, there should be a place for you in UWA sport.
If elected, I’ll work to create inclusive opportunities that foster belonging and strengthen our university identity. Help me make sport at UWA open to everyone.
Vote Zen for Sports Officer in the upcoming Guild election.

My name is Eva, I’m third-year Mechanical Engineering and Data Science student who’s excited to be running for Ordinary Guild Councillor with SPARK.
Since coming to UWA I was eager to get involved and contribute to UWA campus culture. This year I’ve been Secretary and Treasurer of Robogals, Operations Officer on 180 Degree Consulting, and Secretary of the UWA Consulting Society. In all these roles I’ve thoroughly enjoyed giving back to the community, volunteering at not-for-profits, helping students connect with industry and running great events.
As your OGC I would love to be able to help improve campus culture by promoting more club engagement and to give back to the community that’s supported me in my studies, helping influence the Guild and University in a positive matter that benefits students, applying my skills, drive and connections to make UWA the best place to study.
Hi everyone, my name is Henry, I am 19 years old, and I am running for the position of Ordinary Guild Councillor. Through my 3 semesters of uni I have come a long way, learning how to get involved and making the most of uni. I hope to apply this and learn more with SPARK.
Being a committee member on three clubs (ECOMS, BPhil and Bouldering) has given me various different perspectives on the student experience which I hope to represent and support within the Guild. I have held an executive position (treasurer for BPhil Union) for my entire time at UWA, making me uniquely capable to get things done in the Guild.
As an OGC, I hope to make events easier for clubs to run and foster a more active social community. Additionally, I would personally like to see more dynamic and interesting events run by the Guild.

With my background as the Sikh Society President for the past year, helping start a club from ground zero, I believe I'm best suited to understanding unique perspectives from the ethnically diverse community at UWA, especially those from India/Punjab. My goals as an OGC are to create spaces where introverted students feel welcome to be part of uni life and not just coming to uni for study, since there's so much more. I want to achieve visible outcomes on campus that provide long-term benefits which students help actively accomplish.
Hi! My name is Kai, I study a Masters of Electrical Engineering, and I am running for OGC with SPARK.
As a domestic student that lives off campus and drives to UWA every day, I hope to represent the typical student with SPARK. I’m currently the President of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) UWA, where I’ve worked to create inclusive, engaging spaces for students to connect with each other and with industry professionals through events.
If elected as an OGC, I aim to create more initiatives that connect students across faculties, years, and cultures so that every student can feel like they are making genuine connections that last beyond their degree.
Together with a team full of diverse perspectives and opinions, I aim to help create a campus where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered.

I’m currently an EMAS committee member, a BLOOM committee officer, and a resident of St Catherine’s College. These roles have connected me with students from various backgrounds and helped me understand the different challenges we face.

Making the most of college and uni life has made my transition from regional WA so much smoother—I’ve genuinely felt welcomed and at home here.

Hi, my name is Aidan Kirby-Smith and I’m a third-year Bachelor of Science student at UWA. Over the past two years, I’ve been proud to run with SPARK and witness firsthand the incredible impact our team has had in promoting student voices and delivering meaningful change on campus.
This year, I’ve had the privilege of being the Guild Council Chair and a member of the Guild Executive. I’ve also represented students on an educational level being an Education Officer in the Science Union. Last year, I attended the National Union of Students (NUS) Conference as an observer, where I saw just how powerful student representation can be on a national level.
SPARK has proven time and time again its commitment to progress, advocacy, and empowering students. I’m excited to be running for NUS with SPARK, and I’m ready to fight for a stronger voice for UWA students across the country.
My name is Alyssa Iozzi, I’m a final year Masters of Biotechnology student who’s excited to be running for the National Union of Students (NUS) with SPARK.
My time at UWA has been rewarding and transformative. Filled with personal growth and meaningful challenges. As an active member of both PSA and Science Union, and a resident at UniHall and St Catherine’s College, I’ve been fortunate enough to be involved in the campus community and connect with a wide range of students. It’s through these experiences that I’ve gained insight into what student’s value and where the university and the NUS has room to improve.
As your NUS representative, I will advocate for students, resources, and opportunities. I will work to promote mental health resources and a stronger community for postgraduates. Together, I believe that we will be able to make the NUS a body that champions and empowers all students.
Hello, my name is Darya Rahimi, I’m a third year Microbiology and Immunology student, and I'm thrilled to be running for the National Union of Students (NUS) with SPARK.
My journey at UWA has been incredibly rewarding with a mix of academic pursuit and active campus engagement. Serving as the Welfare Executive for the UWA Health Students’ Society and a Student Ambassador has given me firsthand insight into how impactful strong committees, vibrant events, and genuine friendships are in shaping a truly connected university experience. These roles have shown me exactly where we can do more to support students.
With your vote, I'm committed to building a stronger, more inclusive student community.

My name is Harry Frodsham, a fourth-year Bachelor of Arts (Hons) student in Classics & Ancient History and candidate for the National Union of Students (NUS) with SPARK.
As the current and founding President of UWA’s Classics & Ancient History Society (CLANSOC), I fully understand the challenges UWA students face in creating a campus environment that fosters student engagement, success, and well-being. I recognise the important role student organisations and clubs play in this respect.
As your NUS delegate, I will advocate for increased resources to enable student organisations to flourish, and promote their right to freedom of thought, expression, and assembly. I will champion disciplines, including my own, that face funding cuts from mounting administrative and governmental pressure. With your support, I will defend and support the values that have enabled studying at UWA to have been a highlight of graduates’ lives for generations.
I’m Jasper Fromant, a fourth-year Frontier Physics student. I’m running as a National Union of Students (NUS) representative with SPARK, to advocate for a rewarding and safe experience at UWA for all students.
We have a rich, vibrant campus culture and an engaged student body which I’m proud to be a part of. For three years, I’ve worked with my classmates and university departments in student representation and advocacy - managing events to keep UWA students engaged in campus life, and improving their academic experience.
As President of the University Physics Society, I have felt first-hand the negative effects of new policies such as poster bans and lecture marketing restrictions, which diminish the ability of UWA students to learn of and engage with club and community events. With your support, I will continue to advocate for positive changes and student interests both on campus and at the national level.

Students deserve strong, authentic representation at the national level. SPARK has shown what’s possible when we focus on getting things done. That’s exactly the mindset I’ll take to the NUS. If elected, I’ll continue to push for practical change that puts students first and brings your voice to the national stage.
Vote SPARK for a Guild and an NUS that represents YOU
