I was honoured to be a recipient of the Academic Representative of the Year Award at the Student Achievement Awards Ireland (SAAI) 2022, held at the Gibson Hotel in Dublin. Organised annually by the Union of Students in Ireland, SAAI celebrates the exceptional contributions of students to campus life and wider society. Now in its ninth year, the awards recognise leadership, activism, and impactful student-led initiatives across the country. Being acknowledged in this national forum was a meaningful recognition of my efforts to improve the student experience and contribute to positive change within my community and beyond.
