The Welsh language has always been an integral part of my life, and I am thrilled to be starting my new role as the Students’ Union Welsh Affairs Officer.
I graduated last year from Swansea University with a degree in Sport and Exercise Science and I applied for this role because I want to see and hear the Welsh language being used across the campuses and make it relevant to students today. My aim this year is to promote the Welsh language as a positive and natural part of university life, creating inclusive events and opportunities for students, as fluent speakers or learners, to engage. I am looking forward to working closely with Welsh Societies, Academi Hywel Teifi and the Students' Union to make this possible. It’s a privilege to have this opportunity to represent Welsh students and to ensure that the Welsh language is visible and thriving, and a natural part of Swansea University life on every level.
