As both President and former Treasurer of the Space Society, and future Chief Editor of UCL Science Magazine, I have had the great privilege of spearheading a transformation within the society and beyond. This year the Space Society has experienced unprecedented growth and success. Despite the challenges of a small committee, we have managed to more than quadruple the number of events, and seen exceptional membership and participation. This past year has truly been a landmark for our society, marked by a diverse range of events, from art to nerdy talks, and day-long conferences to observatory visits, all underlined by nothing but passion and enthusiasm for the community we've created.

My commitment to Space Soc runs deep; it is almost parental. This sentiment allows me to understand and appreciate the dedication and effort required by officers to nurture a society. I have seen firsthand their passion and commitment, and I recognize the invaluable contributions they make. As a member of the awards panel, I would be uniquely positioned to appreciate the hard work and zeal that goes into sustaining societies. With my experience and insight, I am confident in my ability to contribute to the panel and help select deserving winners.

I have dedicated myself wholeheartedly to fostering a vibrant and dynamic community within our university and I'm eager to be part of acknowledging and rewarding the exceptional talent and commitment of UCL's society officers.
