Statistics Society: Welfare Officer

As course representative for the Statistical department I have been in contact with my professors and fellow students in the dept, my role allowed me to understand their problems and help take them to higher authorities. It was these interactions that pushed me to nominate myself. If chosen, I will strive to maintain the current positive reputation, legacy and sponsorships while also working towards building on these strong foundations. 

Given recent trends, many people are moving towards a career in statistics given the indispensable skills it offers, and I want to help aspirants at UCL pave their path using the network we offer them. I would organise panel discussions and coffee chats with individuals who have already gone through the initial phases and are now successful in the field. This would offer our members the opportunity to ask questions, know about new careers and inspire them to aim for nothing but the best. 

Further, as a student studying Statistics, Economics and Finance, I have noticed and heard from various colleagues that our department isn’t the most social, making it hard to make friends. I aim to fix this in the future by organising social events wherein like-minded students with an interest in Statistics can interact and develop friendships.

I intend to raise the profile of the UCL Statistical Society among other university societies, students, and employers. I am excited to help USS develop. I look forward to working with and for you all!
