Jaya Nagi

Hi! My name is Jaya Nagi and I am excited to be running for the Head of Welfare of the Women In Finance Society. I believe this is a very important role as it mainly focuses on the mental health and well being of students. Being at a prestigious university like UCL can come with academic and social stresses. Therefore I believe it is important that members know that there is help and support readily available.

If I was elected as Welfare Officer, my main objectives would include:

- Make the Women in Finance society a welcoming and stress-free environment, allowing people to broaden their horizons about the financial sector

-Create a medium for anybody to talk to me about their concerns and worries, as well as providing sufficient advice and support. This could be done online or in person, anonymous or in group sessions, whatever is preferred

-Raise awareness about the importance of good mental health and ways to improve one’s mental health, be it through workshops, social events, or sharing materials and resources

-Work with UCL services to inform others of the many ways the university is here to help and support students with their concerns

I am extremely passionate about mental health, and would want to everybody to feel comfortable and know that they are welcome to approach me in person or online about anything on their mind. I am empathetic and would be happy to help in any way possible!
