Penelope Hart-Jones

Hi I'm Penny and I will be running for next year's Treasurer! I have been a part of dance society for two years now, making sure that the membership was one of the first things I purchased in freshers week. I've attended the weekly jazz and contemporary classes (you may have seen me around) pretty religiously. I was also involved in the class showcase last year, and the 24hr show and triple bill this year. Being a part of all the things dance society has to offer has been a truly enriching experience; making friends, improving on and learning new skills and performing to sold out audiences!

This continued involvement has sparked my passion for wanting to get involved in organising the dance community at UCL. I know the commitment it takes to help run a successful show and making sure everything runs smoothly throughout the year so I feel like I would be the perfect fit for this. I have worked in the Students Union Activities Team for a year and a half (we work with all clubs and societies at UCL), giving me comprehensive knowledge on every financial process and form it takes to run a society. I know the timelines and how to complete complex purchase requests and contracts, before even joining the committee. This knowledge, on top of my good interpersonal skills, successful time management, organisational ability (I'm that one friend in the group who actually organises the night out) and dedication for dance, is why I think you should vote for me for Treasurer!!
