Nina Halper
(she/her)
Co Editor-in-Chief
Nina is in her 5th year studying Spanish. She has mentally tapped out of her degree to focus her energy on bigger and better things such as GUM. She enjoys listening to slow folk songs and dancing to reggaeton. One of her main joys in life comes from frequenting the GU pool and sauna. In this underground haven, time is a void, sauna stories are unhinged, and even the harshest of Glasgow winters can’t reach you.
Esther Weisselberg
(she/her)
Co Editor-in-Chief
Esther is a 4th year English Lit. student and would rather you didn’t ask about her impending dissertation thank you very much. If she’s not on level 9 of the library, you can find her planning her post-uni escape to the continent (don’t worry, she’s got an EU passport, it’s all gonna work out just fine). She’s also currently iso some size 6 orange Adidas Spezials… so, if you see any, please contact [email protected] ASAP
EDITORAL TEAM
Hannah Parkinson (she/her)
Editorial Director
Hannah is a 4th year english lit student who plans to spend her entire year writing obscure poetry, calling everything a hybrid form, and making sub-par oat flat whites. Likes: getting free food at work, making oddly specific spotify playlists, and telling people about her duolingo streak. Dislikes: the fact Tchai Ovna closed.
Zola Rowlatt
(she/her)
Features Editor
This is Zola. Zola is a third year English Literature and Spanish student.
This is Zola’s trusty motorbike that ensures she gets to her classes on time.
Clutched in her fist is the required reading for the upcoming seminar; Zola is always prepared.
Let yourself be swept away on your own gleaming literary Harley Davidson by writing an article for the fantastic features section, of which Zola is editor.
Tom Gilbert
(he/they)
Politics Editor
Tom is (very originally) a fourth year Philosophy/English lit student from London. Join him in his inevitable transition from twink to ’twas to tweed. Follow the trail of lost rings, student cards, and IDs to find him and, when you do, good luck catching up as he speedwalks down Gibson Street in 5-inch platform trainers, fueld by caffeine, stress, and SOPHIE – his phone often thinks he’s driving x
Fleur Kas (she/her)
Culture Editor
Fleur is a second year English/Comparative Lit. student. Rather than reading all her assigned novels, she wastes her time peeling the skin off her chickpeas to make (exceptionally creamy) hummus and trying to learn Lou Read songs on the guitar. She feels very self-centred for using a selfie but it is better than the pictures her friends take of her from awkward angles.
Ava Ahmann
(she/her)
Culture Editor
1/2 of Culture, Ava has fingers in many pies; her fav? Salted honey. When she’s not running late on her bike (miss baby blue), she’s daydreaming about her pitches for the coming week and planning what to play (#unprofessionally) on her Subcity show.
Jess McKendrick (she/her)
Science & Tech Editor
Cornwall born and bred, 4th year Human Biology student Jess is this year’s Science and Tech editor and determined to convince you that’s not as nerdy as it sounds! When not facing imposter syndrome in the labs of the Boyd Orr, she can be found papping her friends on an old digi camera or scouring The West End for the best iced matcha it has to offer (recs welcomed <3)
Naomi Maeve (she/they)
Creative Writing Editor
When not aggressively cornering unwitting friends into long and arduous discussions about whatever poem she’s based her life around that week, Naomi can be found raving about how under or over caffeinated she is, forgetting people can see her while she lip syncs to Kurt Vile on Uni Avenue, cooking various bean-based meals or telling everyone that she learnt to speak Tolkien dwarvish when she was 13. She’s also fond of overusing commas and falling madly in love with every little morsel of joy she can get her sticky paws on. She loves learning about people through the way they write and is frankly pretty dumbfounded she ended up on this team at all. In fact, she is nervously waiting for the big bosses to find out she’s a fraud, at which point she will escape to Switzerland and start her much anticipated life as a reclusive goat farmer in the hills.
Ailsa Davies
(she/her)
Copy Editor
Ailsa is a third year English Literature student. When asked to describe herself she often goes blank but here goes. Loves a good film, hates a bad one, wishes she could speak another language, perfected the boiled egg the other day (5 minutes and 30 seconds). Catch her also running Life Drawing society this year. Also catch her resisting the feminine urge to punctuate every sentence with an exclamation mark (!)
Ritu Samuel (she/her)
Accessibility & Inclusion Officer
Ritu is a second year Sociology (with Quantitative Research Methods™ #womeninstem?) student who recently made the unfortunate decision to shave her head and subsequently, is rarely sighted without some kind of bonnet protecting her from the horrifically cold wind. When not complaining about how much she misses the sun, she can be found asleep in strange spots on campus, doodling on her lecture notes or cooking meals that are needlessly elaborate but deliciously worth it.
VISUALS TEAM
Amber Charlton
(she/her)
Visuals Director
Amber is a 3rd year Communication Design student. Shopping is her therapy, eBay is her instagram and klarna should be deleted from her phone. When overwhelmed by the pigeons, buskers and electric deliveroo bikes on Sauchiehall street she retreats to the homeware section of TK max for some peace and quiet. If it’s past 6 however she’ll be at the GFT, where she’ll hope the film she’s about to see (with her MUBIGO because she’s an arthouse girlie) is showing in cinema 2 because cinema 1 is too big and cinema 3 is too small. She also likes to go alone so she can sit in the front row without being judged.
P.s. she’s never without her Olympus mju, and if you become her friend she’ll take sexy photos of u
Nancy Heley (She/Her)
Graphic Designer
Nancy Heley is a 4th year graphic design student and underwear model. Likes: fine wine, good food, Oatly. Dislikes: writing bios, making her own decisions and workplace misogyny.’
