Abacus Society: Vice-President

Hi, I’m Quenie, a first-year student from Hong Kong! Coming to UCL, I didn’t know what to expect - but from clubbing nights to board game socials and everything in between, ABACUS quickly became one of the best parts of my university experience. It gave me the chance to meet people from a diverse range of backgrounds and form friendships I wouldn’t have found otherwise. Now, I’m excited to help create that same welcoming space for others! 

As VP, I want to support both the committee and our members. My priorities include: 

• London-wide collaboration: Working with VPs across London ABACUS to co-organise the annual Christmas and CNY dinners, making sure that the standard stays just as high while continuing the tradition that makes these events so special 
• More internal events: Collaborating with the Events Director to maintain our current events, while also introducing more casual socials like dumpling-making nights, themed pub nights or hot-pot dinners
• Supporting events & team culture: Whether it’s helping the President juggle logistics for an event, or sorting out last-minute details, I’ll support the team wherever needed, making sure tasks are shared fairly and everything runs smoothly behind the scenes 

Serving as my sixth form’s House Leader helped me develop confidence, adaptability, and the ability to support a large and diverse group of students, all of which I’m excited to bring to ABACUS helping make every event feel as great as ever before.
