Five months ago, I would find it hard to imagine myself running for President but then again, back then I had no idea how meaningful this society would become to me and its impact on my life. Honestly, there is no other society that I would rather lead, and at the heart of this sentiment are the members themselves. When it comes to our community, it is truly a case of ‘iron sharpening iron’ and each week I feel challenged to grow; from somehow singing a solo in under a month post joining choir, to being a part of enlightening discussions at Bible Study.

So, the opportunity to advocate for you all and usher in a new chapter, together with a committee of individuals who I already admire, excites me. I hope to fill this chapter with more opportunities for us to engage with one another- utilising communal Bible plans and a wider variety of events- and of course, the friendship and love that already runs deep within VOCE. Knowing that VOCE is a combination of my two favourite things: God and music, I believe that my passion and dedication to both aspects of VOCE will equip me to fulfil this role diligently and inclusive of all members. I look forward to making more connections within VOCE as President and bringing both your and my innovative ideas to life!

To conclude, it would be my honour for you to entrust me to undertake this position of leadership and responsibility and serve you all as your President as we all strive to honour the Lord together.
