Kelly L Cheng

My name is Kelly, I’m from Hong Kong/ Taiwan and I’m standing for general secretary this year :)

Having taken part in various abacus events, I’ve made incredible connections with similar backgrounds and interests. This inspired me to do the same for more people at ucl. 

Social media plays a crucial role in making abacus one of the largest cultural societies. I believe my previous experience of running the German society at school would enable me to excel in this role. I promoted the society through social media platforms, resulting in an addition of 40 new members in the span of 2 months. Furthermore, as the president of the green school committee during my school years, I’ve acquired organisation and effective time management skills, which are essential for general secretary. 

In the future, I hope to increase abacus’ visibility, engagement and participation. I aim to create content and provide frequent updates to improve communication between all members. I’ll respond to enquiries and listen to member’s needs, fostering a sense of community and encouraging participation in social events and activities. As a management science student, I’m also motivated to use my digital design and marketing skills to further accelerate abacus’ social media presence. 

Abacus is a welcoming society making students feel at home even in a foreign country. I look forward to seeing what the upcoming year has in store as your general secretary and working with each and every one of you!
