Music Society (RUMS): Treasurer

I'm standing for this position first and foremost because I love RUMS Music! It has certainly been a big part of my UCL life so far and I absolutely look forward to every rehearsal and performance we have. I would hence love to be part of the committee to pay it forward and let every single member - existing and future - to have just as much enjoyment and fun as I had.

The role as treasurer is not new to me. Having served as my high school orchestra chairperson, I have had experience handling orchestra finances, doing up forms and budgeting, and most importantly, communicating and working with other committee and society members. I strive to be as friendly and approachable as one can be, so I believe that everyone will enjoy working with me!

I hope that you will be able to lend me your support with a vote! Thank you and let's continue making beautiful music together as a club! :)

Having gained experience of being in the RUMS Music Committee over previous years (previous Heartstrings Leader and Publicity Officer), I would hope to make RUMS Music as accessible as possible, as potential Treasurer. This would include:

• Finding more opportunities for funding – there are various opportunities for funding (especially for events) from both the Students Union and external sources. I would aim to be proactive in researching into different medical and musical organisations and see whether they could provide any funding/ benefits for our society.
• Keeping Events as cheap as possible – as we hope to increase the amount of events we have, I would hope to keep them as financially accessible as possible through research and supporting the Events and Welfare Officer, Anji. 
• Funding Equipment – as a previous Publicity Officer (and unofficial photographer), I understand how important equipment is in keeping a society sustainable. I would hope to look into sources of funding for a tripod, so that every group is able to have a video of decent quality, and a microphone in order to record performances.
• More merchandise – having experience designing and printing merch for Sexpression UCL, I understand the logistical, creative, and technical aspects of getting merchandise done. As Treasurer, I would hope to offer more of a range of merchandise/ more interesting options!
