Election post

Status
Elected
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

My main policy is concentrated on revitalising the postgraduate social experience at UCL.

Us postgrads are often lumped into one group when we are actually a very diverse cohort. I want to set up and successfully implement a social event structure that caters to every postgrad student, whether you are PGT, PGR, a carer, a parent, part-time, full-time, mature, based on main campus or at UCL East.

  • I want Postgrads to feel a part of the UCL community
  • I want it to be easy and flexible to socialise, to network, and to meet other students
  • I want postgrad experience to rival that of undergrad
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

EXPERIENCE

  • 6 years studying at UCL (year-abroad BA degree and part-time MSc).
  • 3 years of experience working in the Students' Union.
  • Carried out 80+ events in UCL Welcome 2022 (boat parties, speedfriendings, and more).
  • I am currently the Postgraduate Events Assistant. Within 2 months I have organised monthly Wine and Cheese Nights, weekly Coffee Mornings, and a PHD Theatre Trip, amongst other events.
  • Other SU roles: sports assistant for TeamUCL and Project Active, Printroom Barista, UCL 101 Talks Speaker, Sports Rep.
  • Collaborated with Project Active on Postgraduate Summer initiative.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.

For far too long postgrad students have been neglected. We comprise over half of the student body and yet we do not see this reflected nor the representation shown in the services provided. Many postgrad students feel left on the sidelines and are having to self-organise to make connections across their cohort, to socialise, and to feel a part of the UCL community.

With my experience in the SU, I know I can change this. Above all, I am passionate and driven to do everything I can to help make UCL the experience you want.

I know what can be achieved, and I know I can achieve it for all of you
