Investment Society: VP of Marketing

Being the charity committee prefect and the president of the Psychology society of my high school, one of its most popular societies with over 50 active members, I routinely organised weekly talks, social events and sales. All these roles have sharpened my marketing, communication and time management skills.

I am extremely proficient in combining Canva, Photoshop and Procreate to produce eye-catching, high-quality and time-efficient advertisements, having created one per week for my previous roles. This skill stems from my long-term interest in design and the arts, having started studying visual arts from the age of 5. This means that I am fit for creating all of the promotional material for the society, including posters, leaflets, presentations and more.

Additionally, to effectively advertise these events, I have developed the abilities to give clear and concise descriptions of our events in a convincing manner on social media.

Finally, I am very skilled at web design using Figma and Adobe XD, having consistently practiced and created websites/apps in the last two years. Although it may not be directly relevant to this position, this background has made me acutely aware to design details and how to adapt based on the user demographic.  

I'm running for the post of VP of Marketing. I am now a freshman at UCL, where I serve as the Academic-Representative. I like to think of myself as a trustworthy, diligent person who would go to any length to finish a task effectively and on time. For example, in my high school, I was the founder of a designer clothing online start-up, where I oversaw a wide range of responsibilities, from overseeing the website's operations to developing contacts with cloth designer producers, which required persistence. I'm making the switch to a VP role because I'm searching for a tougher challenge. This role would require me to put in a lot of effort in order to be successful, and I am certain that I am capable of doing so. Because of my present involvement in various campus activities, I am aware of this. As a former Project Leader for the UCL 180-degrees Consulting society, I worked directly with a client firm to solve their problem, which honed my attention to detail and leadership skills, which I am continuing to hone as the First-Year Academic Representative at UCL School of Management and as an FYR at UCL Consulting Society. If elected, I intend to put these traits of leadership to the best possible use. Fortunately for me, I have an easy year ahead of me, which will let me prepare for this position in terms of time. If I get elected as VP of Marketing, having this extra time will enable me to put more effort into the role and work harder on the many duties that will occur.
