Esra Yagmur Keles
As a resident of Telford Hall for the past two years and returning for my third year, I have developed a deep appreciation for our community and the environment we share. Telford has truly become my home away from home. As an international student, this hall played a significant role in helping me settle into university life, build friendships, and feel supported in a new country.
I am standing for Telford Hall Chair because I want to give back to the community that has given me so much. I understand both the challenges and the strengths of living here, from maintaining a respectful living environment to ensuring everyone feels heard and included. Having experienced Telford from multiple perspectives over the years, I believe I can represent residents effectively and work collaboratively to improve communication and engagement within the hall.
My goal is to make Telford an even more welcoming, organised, and enjoyable place for everyone, whether they are first year students adjusting to university or returning residents continuing their journey.
