"My role as the APO is to set up and co-ordinate events and activities for all students to get involved with.
"Included in these activities are the sports clubs and the societies, volunteering activities and the continuation of Give it a Go. I have a close working relationship with hundreds of students that with the help of the Students' Union run and organise the many different sports and societies that our Union has to offer all students.
"From being involved in these activities I hope all the students involved will gain good experience and a great deal of confidence that can be taken forward with them into life after university.
"If anybody has any questions, problems or just wants a chat in general about anything I am here to help and be of assistance to all. My office is located in the Students' Union, so don't hesitate to call in. I look forward to meeting many of you and I hope you all have a great year! Most importantly don't be afraid to get involved with whatever you want to do."
