Computer Science Society: Head of Events

Hey, I am Helena, a first-year BSc Computer Science student. I am running for Head of Events for UCL Computer Science Society as I am passionate about planning events that could pique students' interest in learning more about the growing field of computer science, regardless of what course they study. Coming from zero background in computer science, I often find myself intimidated to take part in events organised by UCL CSS, especially ones that require technical skills. However, after participating in the hackathon organised by UCL CSS and UCL TechSoc, I was amazed by how much I could learn from the rest of the participants and was inspired to play an active role in the community. I wish to encourage CSS to become a society that allows students of all programming levels, including beginners like me, to feel welcomed to be part of this supportive community and exchange knowledge with each other.



With my past experiences of organising events for my college student council as well as UCL Malaysian Society, such as a healthy eating campaign and a formal night, I have a lot to offer as a Head of Events. I am passionate about event planning, adaptable and very easy to work with. I am looking forward to utilising my event planning skills to organise exciting events for UCL CSS that members could benefit from!
