Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club: Treasurer

I have been a member of the club for 4 years, and this would be my 4th year on the committee.

In my first year I was first year rep. In my second year, during the pandemic, I was president of the club and ensured the club ran in the form of online classes and organised and personally edited 11 hours of content, creating the content library. For my work on the committee, TeamUCL awarded me a sports commendation and for creating the content library I won the “Online Activator of the Year” award.

In the next year I served as president, returning the club to in person activity, growing it to larger than ever and implemented a number of policies, including increasing the number of socials, introducing the women’s only class, started rolling socials and organising our own competition, the UCLBJJ Beginners Battle. Unfortunately, I had to interrupt my studies due to health issues that have now been resolved.

Now I am back and want to help the club grow to new heights.

As treasurer I want to:

• Order new kit for the club
• Organise a series of tournaments with other universities
• Get BJJ into varsity for the first time ever
• Level up the social, welfare and volunteering aspects of the club
• Ensure the club is well funded
• Investigate the possibility of sponsorships

For the past year I have been working for TeamUCL as a sports assistant and for the last 5 weeks I ran the BUCS fixtures system and would be very interested in investigating the introduction of BJJ as a BUCS sport.
