Sneha Kaluvakollu

Hi guys, I’m Sneha, a first year med student, and I’m running for cultural & community/welfare officer for Indian society!

My aim as cultural & community officer would be to run as many events as I can to promote a sense of community in the society. Whether it be chai and chaat, movie nights, mehndi, or yoga, I want to give members the opportunity to engage with each other in a casual, comfortable environment. As much as I loved the big events, I remember coming out of the smaller ones, like the mehndi event during freshers, feeling more personally connected to the culture, so I would love to run some more through the year.

As welfare officer, I will aim to keep harmony within the committee and its members. I describe myself as an approachable person and will ensure that I promote myself as a place for everyone to raise any concerns.

I also believe I would be a useful asset to the committee, having experience working in many different teams; I am an academic rep which requires good organisational and presentation skills, I am on the RUMS events sub-committee where I helped plan ’take me out’ by editing videos, promoting and stage managing on the day, and have been an assistant manager for the last 4 years at a tuition company, so I can lead where necessary.

I would absolutely love to be a part of the team next year!
