I'm Bilal, - The Beacon, pursuing an MSc in Accounting and Finance at Glasgow Caledonian University. With experience in administration and financial management at both national and international levels, I have worked with organisations like UNICEF, UNFPA, and WFP, as well as alongside the Government of Pakistan and the United Nations. These roles have taught me how to navigate complex systems, advocate for fairness, and drive meaningful change. 

As a student, I understand the challenges we all face—whether it’s academic pressure, financial concerns, or feeling unheard. My leadership experience has always been about creating real solutions, and that’s exactly what I want to bring to this role. I am running for FTO because I believe every student—regardless of background—deserves strong representation, better opportunities, and a system that works for them. With your support, I will ensure that your voice is heard, your concerns are addressed, and that together, we build a fairer, more inclusive student community.
