Ali is the Student President for the 2024/2025 academic year, a role he's doing alongside studying his second year of the BA Theology and Mission course. Having already done a degree, Ali came back to higher education after a varied adventure through the world of work, during which he picked up experiences and skills that he hopes have equipped him to pursue church leadership. Some of these adventures include working in HR, work with submarines, being a Radio DJ and even a brief spell as an undertaker. Away from the College, Ali can be found either swimming (preferably in the sea but a pool or river will do), out on a golf course or sat in a coffee shop.
