President
Ruby Austen

Hey! I’m Ruby, I study biology and I’m going to be your JCR president for this year! It’s therefore my responsibility to make sure the thoughts and opinions of the JCR are represented at college and university-wide levels. Feel free to message me or find me for a chat if you have any questions, worries or anything at all, I’ll be more than happy to help 🙂
Vice President
Krishh Chaturvedi
he/him
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! I’m looking forward to being a part of the lovely new JCR committee, and continuing to make St. Anne’s the best Oxford college (which it is, no doubt about it). Apart from being a friendly and approachable face around college, you can look at me as a kind of genie who can basically solve all your problems, or direct you to a person who can :)) Let me know any concerns/questions you have, always up for a chat!
Secretary
Amy Seal
she/her
Hi everyone! I’m Amy, a second year History and Politics student, and I’ll be your JCR secretary. I’ll send out a weekly email newsletter with events going on inside and out of college (please read it!!) as well as write up the minutes for the JCR meetings we have! Please feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions or anything you want to be published. 🙂
Treasurer
Gaspard Rouffin
he/him
Hi! I’m Gaspard and I am a second year from France doing History and German. I will be the JCR treasurer next year, and will be in charge of all things money-related for college and the JCR. Can’t wait to help fund community projects for St Anne’s, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or suggestions, or any concerns about the JCR budget!
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.
International Rep
Sofia Arata
she/her
Hiya! My name is Sofia, and I am a second year Classics student. This year I will be representing the international community at Anne's, so it is my job to make sure that all of the incoming international students feel as welcome as possible. If you ever have any doubt, from details about international storage, to figuring out the best way to travel to and from Oxford, never hesitate to ask me about it! I will do my best to help.
Academic Affairs Rep
Bella Whitmore
she/her
Hi everyone, I’m Bella and I’m your academic rep, so I’m here to answer any questions and address any issues you may have regarding academic work and tutors. I hope to show you that Annes is a welcoming environment and make you all aware of all the resources and opportunities available to you, as well as the support the college provides for whenever you may be struggling. I’ll be sending you anonymous tutorial reviews so that you can raise any issues you have. I’m always up for a chat, so send me a message, especially if you feel overwhelmed or are struggling at all!
Arts Officer
Leif Findlay
he/him
Hi, I'm Leif, and I'll be your Arts Rep for this year. I'm a second-year doing Classics and English. When I'm not preserving my course-mandatory love of literature, I can usually be found on the rugby pitch or in one of the many lovely Oxford cinemas. I'll be running creative projects throughout the year, so keep an eye out for emails, and come chat if you have any new ideas!
IT Officer
Angela Chen
she/her
Hey everyone! I’m Angela, a second year biochemist and I’ll be your IT Rep this year! I'm responsible for managing the JCR website, which includes weekly menu updates, meeting minutes uploads, and formal date updates.

Domestic Affairs
Georgia Stevens

Hi!! I’m Georgia from the Devon/Cornwall area and I’m the JCR domestic rep this year. My main responsibilities are sorting all things accommodation and food, as well as any other internal matters here at Anne’s, so please reach out if you have any concerns or need any help in these areas. I love all things beach, coffee and sports, and am always up for a good night out! I hope to be a friendly face around Anne’s and am super excited to meet everyone. I’m also the Anne’s netball captain so make sure you all join netball when you start… 😉
Sports Rep
Benaiah Hoong
he/him
Hi! I’m Benaiah and I’ll be your Sports Rep. I love all things sports and I hope to make Anne’s a vibrant sporting community. From playing sports recreationally in college to representing Oxford at Varsity, I am here to support anyone who wants to be involved in sports!
Environment Officer
Mishaela Andrews
she/her
Hey, I’m Mishaela and I’m your environment rep! It’s my job to make Anne’s as environmentally friendly as possible. I know Maths student doesn’t scream eco warrior but I think the environment is something everyone can be passionate about! By working with members of the Anne’s community, from alumni to staff and current students, I hope to build on the new action plan to make a difference. I know being environmentally friendly can be difficult especially since we’re all super busy but I hope to make sustainability accessible so everyone can find a way to get involved! Until then, there are loads of other fun environmental university-wide societies, and if you have any ideas or questions please do reach out!
Charities Officer
Shalina Sudhir
she/her
Hiya, I’m Shalina and I’m going to be your charities rep next year! I’m a second year geographer and I grew up in north London. The charities rep organises events throughout the year that raise money for various charities, including the charity of the year, as voted for by the whole JCR at the start of the year. If you’re interested in raising money for a certain charity or want to do some volunteering around Oxford let me know, and we can work together to make it happen! Feel free to email any questions you have, or stop me for a chat if you see me around college!
Equal Opportunities
Sara Jupp
she/her
Hello everyone! I’m Sara Jupp and I am the Equal Opportunities Officer, which means that I correspond with the Equal Opportunities Committee (Ethnic Minorities, Women’s, LGBTQ+, Disabilities and Class!) and work to promote equal opportunities for students from all backgrounds, which Anne's is great at compared to other colleges. As someone who had a hard time adjusting in first year for a number of reasons, I can try and give any advice to anyone who wants help with that, or point you in the right directions for resources 🙂
Women's Rep
Natasha Jopson
she/her
Hi, my name is Tash, and I am so excited to be your Women’s Rep this year! I will be a friendly face for anyone to come and talk to as well as your JCR representative for any issues concerning female-identifying students. Alongside continuing to run our sanitary product scheme, I hope to organise inclusive events in the college bar and with other JCR and welfare representatives. I will add to the Anne’s community and ensure that everyone has a place to be heard and share ideas! Please feel free to message, email or DM me, or find me in college if you have any ideas, issues or just want to chat! I look forward to meeting you!!
Access Rep
Isabella Hickman
she/her
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. I'd really encourage new students to become Student Ambassadors for college as it's such a rewarding experience! Please do get in touch with any questions.
Class Rep
Destiny Rose-Forde Kennedy
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. Due to my background, I understand how important it is that Oxford feels like a second home and doesn't make anyone feel out of place. 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.
Disabilities Rep
Lucianna Cartwright
she/her
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.
SU Rep
Julia Maranhao-Wong
she/her
Hey there! My name is Julia. I am a second year studying PPE, based in Boston and San Francisco. I look forward to representing St. Anne's (you all) in the Student Union! The SU is the representative governing body for the whole of the university, and I'm excited to promote Anne's interest through Oxford-wide policies and petitions coordinated by the SU, as well as connecting the college with the wider student community. If you have any University questions beyond St. Anne's, I'm your gal! Looking forward to meeting you all.
Alumnae Affairs Officer
Lola Bell
she/her
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.
