Vice-Chair
Charlotte Barker
Charlotte is a final-year Diagnostic Radiography student studying at Bangor University. She became a student representative towards the end of 2019 as she is passionate about the student voice and helping other students. Charlotte did not pursue a Radiography career as a school leaver even though she knew that she wanted to be a Radiographer. Instead she worked in an administration role for the NHS where Charlotte was able to acquire communication skills that would be invaluable in her new role. She then began her journey to become a Diagnostic Radiographer and has not looked back since starting the course. ‘I enjoy every aspect of radiography and the challenges it brings’.

During this time, Chloe obtained a Law Degree, when working in the HR field, a role she enjoyed for over 10 years. After a long time working in HR, Chloe decided that the time was right for a change, and Diagnostic Radiography is her new chosen career, one for which she is passionate about.

Chloe enjoys helping other students and is happy that her role within the SoR Student Forum has given her the opportunity to do this further.
