Yasmin Yong

Hello! I am Yasmin, a 2nd year Arts & Sciences student, running for Welfare Officer for Free Hype Society.

Free Hype is newly restarting, so I would love to help rebuild the community into a space where aspiring creatives can unite and work together in a meaningful way that makes a larger impact. Outside of academics, I enjoy exploring art, design and film and would love to carry this over to Free Hype.

I believe that a thriving community is built on the foundation of the well-being of its members. My experience offers me the important insight to be a successful Welfare Officer and address diverse needs. Currently as a Science Mentor and through my work as a Campus Ambassador, I am aware of the necessity of creating a safe space for individuals, and implementing initiatives that allow accessibility and inclusivity. I will prioritise the wellbeing of all members, and help establish a supportive network that facilitates a positive environment both within our society, and UCL as a whole. Communication and enthusiasm are undeniably essential parts in the role. Therefore, I would ensure smooth coordination with the committee. 

I am thrilled that Free Hype is restarting, and would love the opportunity to help it grow in its new era. With your vote and support, I am confident I will be an effective and engaged welfare officer, in making a lasting positive impact on the wellbeing of our society.

Thank you for considering my application and I look forward to working with you all!
