Personal Profile
Dom was born in Cuckfield, Sussex in 1987 and spent his childhood in Italy and England with his mother and elder brother.
When he was 15 Dom independently spent a month in India doing charity work. In 2001 he was awarded the Princess of Wales Memorial Award for his contributions to his local community and for succeeding against the odds.
Dom arrived at UWE in 2005, reading Politics in the then Faculty of Humanities, Languages and Social Sciences. In 2006 he became a student representative and chairperson of his Faculty Student Council. He soon progressed within the Students’ Union and was elected by the student body to be SRC President in 2007.
His elected position places him as a trustee of UWE Students’ Union, a member of the UWE Board of Governors, a direct representative of the students, chair of the Student Representative Council and many other roles. Additionally, he has been an active member of the National Union of Students.
In the relatively short time he has held this office, Dom has been part of some of the biggest changes that UWE has seen in recent years – including the hiring of a new Vice Chancellor and the purchase of the HP land. He has also helped the institution with innovative new ways of hearing the student voice to support the University’s renewed focus on student experience. He is committed to ensuring that students are treated equally and has strong opinions on the future development of the University and its Students’ Union.
At the age of 22, Dom feels that he still has a lot to do with his life, and UWE is only the beginning.
