If elected as General Secretary, I want to help bring more energy, communication, and connection into the iMS Society. Throughout my first year, I’ve felt that many students are either unaware of the society or don’t feel involved in it, which is a shame because it has so much potential to bring our year together outside of lectures. As an iMS student myself, I know how easy it is to stay within your own established group, especially when some module lectures are split across different courses. I think the society should play a bigger role in helping students meet people across the sister courses and create a stronger sense of community. One of my main aims would be to help organise and promote more social events so students have more opportunities to make friendships and connections outside of academics. As General Secretary, I would work to improve communication within the society by making sure students are properly informed about upcoming events and opportunities through clear and consistent messaging. I would also support the committee by coordinating meetings, organising agendas, and helping ensure ideas are turned into well-planned events. Through my previous experience as an Accountant Assistant, I have developed confidence in handling official communications, managing emails professionally, and coordinating responsibilities between different people. Overall, I want to help create a society that feels more welcoming for all iMS students.
