Hello everyone, my name’s Krishh, I’m a second-year chemistry student from New Delhi, India, and I’m gonna be your vice-president for the forthcoming year!

Welfare Officers

Luca Niness & Daisy Etell

he/him & she/her

Hi! We’re Daisy (Spanish and linguistics) and Luca (psychology and linguistics), and we’ll be the undergraduate welfare reps for the upcoming year. We’re here to support you in all welfare-related matters from mental health to navigating university life and beyond. Starting university means a big change for most people and each person may face unique challenges along the way, and we want to make the adjustment process as smooth as possible. We have lots of plans for events — welfare teas, walks, craft sessions, informal chats and such will take place regularly — but we are also responsible for advocating on behalf of the undergraduate body for your safety and wellbeing. We are also one of the key points of contact if you’re ever in distress, so feel free to approach/email us whenever you’re having a hard time or need someone to speak to.

Entz Reps

Meg Deacon & Paras Shah

she/her & he/him

Oxford does not have to be all work and no play - that’s where we come in: I’m Megan from South East London and I study English and French, and I am one of your Entz (entertainment) reps for this year. You can usually find me procrastinating in stacs or in the College Bar when I’m not at cheer at Iffley! If you have any questions about Entz, cheerleading or gymnastics, English and French or joint honours don’t hesitate to email me. Hey, I’m Paras from North London! I study Engineering and I’ll be your other Entz rep for this year. I seem to spend most of my life talking about London (even though I barely make it in) and plans for pres. My main selling point is the fact that I am always in a club, and never busy there - if you ever need a hand then give me a shout. If you have any questions about Engineering, cheapest pints, Entz or anything else then you can email me.

Hi! I'm Isabella and I'm really excited to be the access rep this year. The role involves working with the outreach department to help spread information and advice to potential applicants and ensuring that St Anne's is doing everything we can to encourage students to apply, regardless of their background. I've had such a wonderful first year and I want to help as many different students as possible to have the opportunity to apply to Oxford.

she/her

Hi I’m Destiny and I’m a second year studying law and Spanish law! I’m a first gen student from a low income background, and I have done a lot of access work at Oxford so far.

I’ll be working with the College and I am also here to help anyone who feels they’re struggling to fit in as I form part of the equalities committee. I love a good chit chat anytime of the day and so please stop me for a chat or send me a message!

LGBTQ+ Gender Rep

George Rowe

they/them

Heya! I'm George and I'm one of your LGBT reps (the Gender one) this year. This means that I'll be fighting the corner of any trans* and gnc students at Anne's because, let's face it, there's a lot of admin that comes with being gender-queer. I also will be running the gender expression fund where you can claim expenses on any gender-related costs both to do with social and medical transition. Feel free to message me about anything queer-related (or about art or rock/metal) literally whenever because I have the worst sleep schedule in college.

LGBTQ+ Sexualities Rep

Helen Ross

she/her

Hi, I'm Helen and I'm the Sexualities Rep for this year. I love all kinds of nerdy book conversations, good vegan food, boxing, Taylor Swift, and environmental awareness/activism. Maybe an odd combo, but that's what makes people interesting! I'll be working closely with George, the Gender rep, to ensure Queer Stanners have a wonderful time at Oxford and find their place in a warm, supportive community.

Ethnic Minorities Rep

Aimee Philip

she/her

Hey, I'm Aimee, I'm a medical student and I come from Peterborough. As this year’s ethnic minorities rep, I’m incredibly excited about all the fun things we have planned throughout the year! From G&Ds trips to bar crawls to a POC formal, there’ll be something for everyone. Alongside socials, I’m also here to support the students of colour here at Anne’s, and I will always be around for a chat. This year, we are also introducing a BAME and International parent scheme, to help BAME freshers navigate Oxford with advice from older years of a similar background. I’m also working with Georgia, the domestic rep, to organise special hall meals and formals to celebrate various cultural holidays, such as Eid and Diwali. I’m proud to say that St Anne’s is a diverse, inclusive and welcoming community, and this year we hope to continue strengthening that.

Hi! I’m Lucianna (Luci), a second year English student from the Wirral. I’m also neurodivergent, which is why I’m excited to be your disability rep this year! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’ve found something in college to be inaccessible, have questions about the Disability Advisory Service (DAS), or are a disabled student with concerns about your own welfare. Goals of mine are to enable disabled students here to participate in any area of college life they choose, and to bring Anne’s disabled community together through socials - from personal experience, it can be a weight off your shoulders to walk into a room and know that everybody in there understands! Do stop me around college if you’d like to chat, or just drop me a message in the meantime.

Lola Bell

I'm Lola, a third year Biochemist and will be in charge of ensuring the JCR remains well connected to our network of brilliant alumnae, with the additional role of managing the Anne's Instagram. This means I'll be chasing after the student body for any sporting/college highlights, asking students (very nicely) to do some takeovers to show what being at Oxford is really like to prospective students, and working with the development office to put on events with alumnae that benefit the JCR.
