Meet... Viji!
What's your name?
Viji Pirani.
What's your role?
Welfare Sabbatical Officer
Tell us a bit about yourself...
I'm a 3rd year Accounting & Finance student hoping to make academic life just a little bit easier for us all. I was born in India, raised in Mexico, and spent a short time in Canada before settling down in London 2 years ago. I'm always available for a friendly chat, but also to support you however possible.
Why did you run in the elections?
I stood for Welfare Sabbatical Officer to support bridging the gap between faculty and students. Throughout theses past 2 years at Birkbeck, I have server as a Course Representative for the Business and Management Department as well as an Academic Representative for the Birkbeck School of Business and Law. It was through these roles that I was able to dive into the grey area between university and students, forging new ideas and initiatives to improve communication, awareness and overall support available to students.
Tell us a fun fact about yourself?
I'm an artistic lover, writing or making music, going to galleries and concerts.
