Larisa Morometescu

Hello! My name is Larisa Morometescu and this year I’m running for the Events Officer and Media Officer positions within the committee of the Dementia Research Society. As a psychology final year student, I believe a position in the Dementia Research Society committee would give me the opportunity to apply my knowledge and skills towards raising awareness for dementia, especially within the UCL community.

Being a Media Officer would allow me to create a “virtual image” of our society. Giving the increase in social media usage, I believe that well-structured content and increased activity on our social media platforms would provide an easily accessible way of raising awareness for dementia within the student community, as well as a means of attracting prospective members. In this sense, I plan to:

• Increase activity on the society’s Instagram page and engage more with the audience through different posts, stories, polls, etc.
• Social Media Campaign: to promote various volunteering opportunities for students within charities and organisations that work with patients with dementia. I believe that this will make volunteering more accessible for students who wish to help those in need.
• Share all events, including PhD talks, workshops, and quiz nights on our Instagram page, so that all the information members need is only one click away!
