Elected
Hi! My name is Jiayu (Sally) Zheng, I am a year 2 Psychology with Education student currently. I think I can be qualified for this position for the following reasons:
1. My field of study (Psychology) fits well with this position, so I can realise my expertise when needed;
2. I am optimistic and cheerful (enfp), good at socialising and communicating with people but also a good listener. In the past year, I joined the UCL and Edinburgh University's Listening Line for Chinese students as a listener, which gave me a more concrete understanding of mental health related counselling. At the same time, I also learnt from the perspective of a listener what kind of emotional support we need as international students in the UK nowadays, and I have my own thoughts on how to improve the situation. In addition, I have participated in volunteer activities such as autism-related projects and primary school voluntary teaching which has improved my ability to interact with others. I understand that all kinds of people in society have different ways of interacting with each other, and I should get along with them in a way that they are comfortable with.
3. In the past year, I held the position of Vice Minister of the Mandarin Teaching Department. Through planning and organising activities, and assigning tasks to members, I have further developed my communication skills, problem-solving skills and leadership. I have a sense of responsibility, and I get along very well with the members, so I think I am mature in my ability to take on the position
