Yasmine Boumaiza

Yasmine has served as the Liberation Chair for Care Experienced Students, providing strong and thoughtful representation for this community within both the University of Greenwich and Greenwich Students’ Union. She consistently brings the perspectives of care-experienced students into discussions with senior leaders, ensuring their voices are heard in spaces where decisions are made.  Yasmine approaches her role with professionalism and preparation. She actively gathers feedback from students in her community and comes to meetings organised, informed, and ready to advocate for their needs. She is proactive in taking opportunities to influence change and is focused on achieving practical outcomes.  Her work has helped raise awareness of the experiences and challenges faced by care-experienced students and has strengthened the connection between this community and university leadership. Care-experienced students benefit directly from having a dedicated and effective representative, while the wider institution benefits from clearer insight into how to better support them.

Yasmine is a passionate, dedicated leader, persistent in representing fellow care experienced students. As our newly founded Care experienced Chair, Yasmine has taken on her position with great enthusiasm and commitment. Yasmine is a thoughtful leader, always considering the diversity of experience within the community she represents, continually looking to highlight the concerns and questions of all care experienced students. Yasmine provides meaningful support to her community, always centring equality and inclusion, whether its advocating for her fellow students in communication with the university or while building a community on campus through events. Yasmine leads with determination, always focused on how her work can impact other's university experience, ensuring students don't feel isolated and unheard. Therefore, I feel Yasmine's leadership and contribution to her community deserves celebration.
