Hi there!

As an avid participant in Kinesis activities this year, I'd love to apply for the role of Managing Editor, as one that best intersects the skillset I can bring to the society and what I am most passionate about.

The role requires organisational abilities in keeping contact with all writers for issues, managing spreadsheets, sending emails and reminders, and meeting deadlines. I developed these skills as the leader of my school's Science Society, involving being the main organiser of a conference with 14 student speakers over 2 weeks, conducting a school-wide science poster fair, and directly liaising with committee members and the wider school through weekly emails.

In addition, the role requires an eye for detail and an analytical mindset to effectively edit multiple pieces of work in a short timeframe, all skills which I can bring to the table through experience being Managing Editor for my high school's term newspaper. This role entailed coordinating the submission of pieces from an array of writers and editing them to a deadline while keeping the rest of the committee updated on progress.

Finally, the post of Managing Editor for Kinesis necessitates a large time commitment, which I have demonstrated by editing pieces for all 3 issues produced this year as well as producing an article for one of them.

I hope this role will allow me ample opportunities to grow alongside all of you, so I can continue contributing to Kinesis in the coming year!
