Hi, my name is Kismet and I am the current South West regional coordinator for SfGH. I am intercalating at Cardiff University and am very excited to be joining the national committee this year. Since my first year I have always been interested in SfGH and been an active member of the society. For the past 2 years I have been involved at a local level in the Cardiff committee. This allowed me to see the vast amount of opportunities SfGH provides not only on a national level but an international one. 

I am so excited to be part of this fantastic organisation this year and help support strong relationships between the branches in the South West and the national committee. My main aspirations for this year are to inspire and engage more people with the amazing work SfGH is doing.
