Status
Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

I’ve been an active member of the arts community for the past three years across a wide range of societies, including Musical Theatre, Drama, Live Music, Jazz and Dance. In 2023-24, I served as Performance Art Rep, working with the Arts Officer, Arts and Media Coordinator and Head of Arts to promote involvement in artsUCL. Since 2021, I've performed in seven Blooms shows (most recently Rhapsody 2024 & The Producers (2024)) and numerous smaller productions, assistant-directed (Little Brogues (2024)), and served on the committee of MT and Drama Society, organising events and boosting outreach. 

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

1. Boost involvement

  • Bridge the gap between entry and expert level participation - work with societies and the Union to create regular training for skill development, or low-commitment opportunities to get involved (e.g. one-off class passes)
  • Increase accessibility of bidding e.g. Blooms/garage bids, making processes more transparent by providing training on how to bid shows, expectations and considerations

2. Strengthen identity

  • Centralised arts hub collating all arts opportunities across major arts and smaller (e.g. cultural) societies
  • Inter-society collaboration and networking
Please summarise why students should vote for you.

I'd like to spend my final year giving back to a community that has brought so much joy to my life at UCL. Over the past three years, I have accrued a thorough, ground-up understanding of how processes work in artsUCL, collaborating with countless individuals and organisations both within UCL and externally. As such, apart from experience and understanding of how to enact change at higher levels, I am well-connected at both the level of the student body and the arts sector of the Union, putting me in a position to work with the relevant individuals who can deliver effective change.
