Surgical Society: Media Officer

Hello, my name is Karthig Thillaivasan and I would like to take this opportunity to run to be a Media Officer for UCL Surgical Society. Having attended and organised many events, as part of the Ophthalmology and OMFS subcommittees within UCL Surgical Society, I have gathered that the success of every event is heavily dependent on spreading enthusiasm and engagement. Some of my greatest skills are communication and teamwork, which will be useful to liaise with other university societies and bring innovative ideas to the table, utilising various online platforms to enhance publicity. This is supported by my role as a publicity officer for the UCL Plastics and Maxillofacial Surgery Conference. In this role, I had experience in designing promotional posters and the conference booklet. Furthermore, having been a member of the Computer Graphics Team at school, I have exposure to various photo/video editing software and so would be able to channel this expertise to enhance the visual and promotional aspects of events, through management of social media and website content. Additionally, having organised many events for the Ophthalmology Webinar Series and Duke Elder, I am familiar with the innovative marketing strategies employed by SurgSoc. It would be a privilege to be part of this amazing society and I would be very grateful if you could vote for me and I will ensure to be a dedicated Media Officer, working hard to design promotions and raise awareness of organised events.
