My name is Jivan and I’m a first-year student. I am running for Corporate Relations Director. The MSoc community is one that has given me a sense of home amidst the chaos of starting my first year. I am running for this position as I am thankful for the support and would like to help play my part for incoming Malaysian students at UCL.
I believe that I am best suited for this role as this is an area I have previous experience in. I have held roles in the 24 Hour Race ranging such as Partnership Manager, which involved contacting businesses to discuss potential sponsorship opportunities and funding. Having done this during a pandemic, I have learnt how to be resourceful and adaptable, especially with contingency planning. Having also held other leadership roles for various other events, I believe I have the necessary capabilities to work with both new sponsors and to maintain current relationships.
As Corporate Relations Director, I will aim to build upon current sponsor relations, while also targeting new sponsors and introducing more inclusive events. Through directly contacting companies, I hope to be able to secure more funding for MSoc members to be able to enjoy more socials. As a student studying an essay-based course, the Malaysian job market can seem daunting. Thus I hope to have more events specifically for those who study art-related subjects.
I appreciate the time you’ve taken to read this and will do my best. Thank you!
