Here at UCWHC, we have a legacy of brightening up the gloomiest Wednesdays, easing up the hardest weeks, and turning four hockey teams into a family—as your welfare sec, I would love to uphold this! In my whole two years at the club, I have gotten to know all its amazing members and learnt from our seniors how to handle challenging situations with competence and confidence. I will use my international background to empathise with any newcomer who has moved away from home or who may not be fluent in English, facilitating their transition into uni life in ways I have found helpful. Moreover, I will ensure I am approachable with my presence at the socials, and available at other times of the week with drop-in sessions as Eilie has done this year. As welfare sec I intend to:
- Foster a nurturing environment where individuals feel safe to voice concerns of any magnitude.
- Ensure transparent communication and prompt resolution of issues.
- Provide more opportunities for all teams to build genuine relationships beyond Wednesday nights.
Though this role is in nature reactive, I believe there is a key preventive component to it that strongly relies on setting the right tone for the club at the start of the year and embodying key values such as respect, inclusivity, safety and accountability throughout. This club has been a major highlight of my uni experience, and I would be proud to be considered for welfare sec for our upcoming season!
