I joined UCL Entrepreneurs within a week of commencing my studies at UCL and have since taken on a role as Events Executive, doing my bit to help students along their entrepreneurial journey. Entrepreneurship has long been a big part of my life; for as long as I can remember, I have aspired to build my own company in the property sector. To this end, I won the Junior Achievement Australia Company of the Year award in high school with ‘Jacqués Pavel’, participated in incubators such as i48 and Kickstart, and worked as a full-time real estate sales agent for almost two years before moving two UCL, selling 66 homes. The skills and tenacity I developed through these endeavours have empowered me in my present role at UCLe to organise and run such successful events as the fireside chat with Luka Eerens or the UCLe Pitch Competition in partnership with Modulous. I am now standing to be the new Director of Sponsorship and External Relations so that I can better contribute to UCL’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Backed by stronger funding and closer relationships with our sponsors, UCLe will be able to run more events that attract more student entrepreneurs with content more relevant to their aspirations. Every student at UCL has the capacity to be a successful entrepreneur, and it is our responsibility at UCLe to provide the support, facilitate the connections and impart the knowledge necessary to harness that potential in everyone.
