The Female Lead Society: Social Media and Outreach Officer

Hello, I'm Aditi, a final year law student!

Growing up in a traditional Indian family, I've always been in awe of the resilience displayed by the women in my family. My grandmothers and my mother had incredible careers despite solely having to manage all household chores alongside their work.

They've often spoken about the challenges of navigating patriarchy at both home and at work. But they persisted, and broke the chains that once bound them.

I want to contribute to creating a supportive community for all women, providing the kind of support my mother and grandmothers wished they had.

Herein lies my motivation for joining the Female Lead committee at UCL- it's personal. 

My goal is to foster an inclusive space within the Female Lead at UCL, akin to a family, where every woman can feel supported and empowered throughout their journey. This brings me to the role of Social Media and Outreach.

So why Social Media and Outreach? 

In terms of credentials, firstly, I've worked with a female-led edutainment startup in India, where I produced, edited, and voiced over 5 Instagram reels that garnered over 2000 views each.

Secondly, I've led the social media marketing strategy for a tech startup, significantly increasing engagement rates by over 430% on X and 45% on LinkedIn.

I believe my credentials will add value to the UCL Female Lead community, which is why I've applied for the position of Social Media and Outreach.

Thanks for taking out the time to hear my story!

Hi! My name is Natalie and I'm a postgraduate law student. I would like to run for the position of 'Social Media and Outreach Officer' so I can be more actively involved with the work The Female Lead undertakes and help promote the importance of feminism and gender equality at UCL. I feel passionate about the mission of this charity, which is to create lasting change for women by amplifying their voices and improving their economic outcomes. I would love to work with the rest of the committee to help effectively convey this message and ensure our social media pages are an active source of information. I have previously been on the committee of two societies during my undergraduate degree, as a marketing officer and social media officer. One of these societies was a charity that operated similarly to The Female Lead, as we helped promote the organisation on campus and raised money for them through our events. Therefore, I am comfortable with working alongside an external organisation; working as part of a committee; designing social media posts; and believe I am a good fit for this role. Thank you for your consideration! 

Kind regards,

Natalie
