Economics and Finance Society: Welfare Officer

Hi everyone ! My name is Adam and I’m currently a first-year Mathematics with Modern Languages student.

I am standing for the role of Welfare Officer as I am passionate about creating an inclusive and supportive environment where every member feels valued and heard. Having gone through the process of applying and securing internships in finance, I understand the unique pressures faced by students in this demanding field. My interactions with the society whether through the mentorship programme or presentations held by the committee have always been positive, and I wish to contribute to this environment. 

To do so, I hope to implement wellness initiatives, provide mental health resources, and foster a community of mutual support and encouragement. By prioritising the well-being of our members, we not only enhance individual experiences but also strengthen the collective success and cohesion of our society.

Thank you for considering my candidacy, I look forward to being a key member of EFS!
