Nicole Ng

Having fallen in love with the performing arts, I was excited to join UCL drama for its range of productions this year. However, I have found information, specifically for freshers or those with less theatrical experience, difficult to acquire. I have come across fresher friends who were excited to get involved, but don't know the difference in roles between a director and a producer. They have sadly ended up being intimidated by the existing expertise, deciding against applying for an interview. By taking up the post of freshers rep, I aim to disseminate information tailored to less experienced freshers. 

Being one of the very few freshers who participated in the Reclamation BAME showcase in October, I am also keen on promoting drama to the rest of the year to attract new blood into our society. In Reclamation, I have gained a basic understanding of the functioning of DramaSoc, including the process of putting up small shows, and cooperating with stage crew. 

I am also a POC in the LGBT+ community, therefore I am keen on reaching out, especially to other POC freshers who don't have English as their first language for encouragement.

On top of my experience in drama, I was the captain of the dragon boat team in my high school, responsible for organising training sessions and communicating with external coaches. I therefore have substantial leadership experience in organising group events, as well as reaching out to different people. 

I'm Nicole, thank you for voting!
