Patricia Innocent

Patricia's journey into service began when she was 12 years old and started assisting her late mother in her restaurant. She worked there in various capacities until she was 17 years old. After secondary school, she began teaching in private nurseries and primary schools in Nigeria.

She earned a degree in BSc Botany from the University of Calabar in Nigeria's Cross Rivers State, whilst continuing to teach.

She began her academic and leadership roles in Aberdeen, first at International College Robert Gordon University (ICRGU) where she completed a Pre-Masters in Public Health and Health Promotion and was elected as the Student President of the College.

Having progressed to RGU, she has held leadership roles such as Class Representative and Nigerian Students' Society President, alongside volunteering as a Welcome Buddy. In March 2023, Patricia was also elected as Student President (Communication and Democracy) at the Students' Union.

As President, she aims to boost communication between the Union and its members, promote and coordinate the democratic structure of the union, as well as promote activities that will benefit students' social well-being on campus. To accomplish and improve the goal of a thriving campus, she will also collaborate closely with societies, communities and with the university.
