Emily Yang

Hello everyone! This is Emily, a 1st year biomedical sciences student running for Treasurer.

I would like to contribute to the committee because I am eager to show you what this new society can offer. As a Course Representative, I have participated in the SSCC meetings with our course organisers and have heard many ideas from each year group in our course and would love to work with the committee to initiate these from this year.

I have had an experience working as the Treasurer at my school’s Environmental Society and have familiarised myself with Excel, which will be the key tool used for tracking expenses, budgeting and maintaining financial records. After a year, I became the society’s President and initiated a £20,000 Greenhouse Project, which shows my dedication and organisational skills.

As the Chairperson of the Student Council and House Captain at high school, I have developed effective communication and time-management as well.

Being a First Year Rep of ABACUS and Sub-committee of Japan Society helped me to understand how a UCL society and the Student Union are run, which would be helpful with such a start-up society. 

I will ensure that there is a smooth communication within our committee, especially regarding financial matters and additionally, will constantly provide support to our team and listen to our members’ voices. I hope that through this, I can give something back to my course and everyone can get the most out of this society!
