Gia Tan

My name is Gia, I am a 1st Year Linguistics student hoping to stand for Sports Officer! I believe this position is most clearly aligned with how I might contribute to this year’s ABACUS committee. 

To begin with, I thoroughly enjoy the events that the society holds and have many sporting ideas that the UCL student body would be enthusiastic about. To keep competitive events going whilst promoting more inclusive activities, I want to hold a social mini-golf event. This would appeal greatly to members that previously lacked an introductory avenue to the sporting side that ABACUS has to offer. 

As for myself, I have a big background in sports, namely Basketball, Football and Volleyball being those I was most actively involved in, with either team play or coordination. Furthermore, I consider myself experienced in events management. As Head Student for example, I was responsible for organising the school’s Sports Day, in which I had to ensure that a multitude of outdoor Athletics events ran smoothly for the whole school.

Above all, I hope to make our sports a more fun and appealing platform for the members, and I hope that through your vote of confidence, you see the same social potential that this side of ABACUS has to offer!
