I look forward to meeting everyone and having a great time bonding over a shared enthusiasm for history!

Wellbeing Officer - Lara Maynard

Hey! I'm a third year history student from the North West. I love a wide range of historical topics, but my passion truly lies in women's history. In my spare time, I'm often found listening to heavy metal or being down at the pub with my mates. I can't wait to meet everyone!

Treasurer - Aaron Earnshaw

Hey! I'm a second year history student from Lancashire. I love a lot of history but especially Indonesia, the industrial revolution, and the interwar period! It'll be great to meet you all! Outside of uni you can usually find me cycling, reading, or on my PC.
