Nastya Iegorova

I’m Nastya and I’m from Kyiv. I am a 2nd year Biochemistry student. I have been part of the ucl.ua committee since it was founded, henceforth it has been my home away from home. 

My love for Ukraine and my unmatched experience as part of the society have led me to applying for the role of the President. I am confident I will be valuable to this network of like-minded people, whose primary aim is to represent our country to other societies in the UK by sharing Ukrainian culture, history & traditions.

Over the 2 years, I have gained valuable experience from the committee members and developed the skills, such as responsibility and adaptability, necessary to run a society of such caliber. Overall, I co-planned and co-organised 20+ events. 

As President of ucl.ua, I aspire to sustain the strong sense of community & to maintain ucl.ua as an institution of civil society on campus, that we have established over the 2 years. This role will enable me to further work on the initiatives to support Ukraine during such challenging times. I will aim for our society to integrate international students more, as I believe it is vital to share our knowledge, passion & love for Ukraine. I strive to organize collaborations with societies within & outside of UCL, introduce Ukrainian language classes and new formats of events, such as panels on renovation of Ukraine, which will not only grant you new connections, but will also allow you to discover Ukraine in all its diversity. 

Slava Ukraïni!
