Minerva Chen

I am applying for Treasurer because I have a strong interest in finance and practical experience managing and analysing financial data, and I am keen to apply these skills within a student-led organisation.

Through my year placement as a Business Support Manager, I have worked on financial reporting, cost analysis, and reviewing balance sheets and P&L statements, which has given me a solid understanding of budgeting and financial decision-making in a real-world context. In addition, my recent experience at Fidelity International has strengthened my interest in financial markets and improved my commercial awareness.

Beyond technical skills, I am organised and detail-oriented. I also have experience organising events within UCL societies, so I understand the importance of budgeting effectively to support engaging and well-run activities.

I would like to contribute to the Financial Journalism Society by ensuring transparent financial management, helping allocate resources efficiently, and supporting the society’s growth through well-planned budgeting.
