Indian Dance Society: Treasurer

Hi everyone! I’m Lavdhi, I’m a first-year Medical student, and I’m hoping to apply for Treasurer!

As a member of Indian Dance Society, I’ve loved attending the weekly dance classes and workshops, where I’ve enjoyed everything from upbeat Bollywood choreography, to learning classical styles. I’ve also enjoyed getting involved in different dance performances like Rangeela, the Christmas Cultural Showcase, and Junoon; I had so much fun meeting new people, and improving my dancing skills!

I strongly believe I would be an excellent treasurer because of my experience in other leadership positions. As a first-year representative of Jain Society, I was deeply involved in the promotion of events and supported the committee in coming up with new ideas. Similarly, as badminton team captain at school, I organised the schedule for practice sessions, and honed my team-working skills. Likewise, as a school prefect, I coordinated with the finance team when organising funding for different events, which provided me with the basics of financial management.

As your treasurer, I would love to work closely with the rest of committee and other societies to organise some of our best events yet. I’m so excited to get involved with performances, workshops, classes, and all the other amazing opportunities this society can bring.

Thank you so much and I really hope you vote for me!

Having to juggle dance, teaching, and studies during my A levels, taught me the value of discipline and organisation to complete the tasks efficiently. Due to the responsibilities attached to this post, these two characteristics will be critical. As a member of the JB team, I believe I have improved my ability to balance my time and be devoted to all my commitments. Joining UCL and living independently has helped to fine-tune the financial skills required for this job in my personal life with budgeting for my expenses. Although it is tough, I believe I have done this successfully and I can learn more about this skill to carry out this role. In my role as an assistant teacher in my dance school, I learned a variety of skills such as patience, developing relationships with people of all ages and planning. In this role, I believe planning will be critical to ensuring that society can function smoothly and productively. I am a focused and confident individual which will help to approach potential sponsors and communicate with the student union. Being part of various teams means that I will be able to work well in a team and assist the President in their role. I am very passionate about dance, and I have done it all my life and I would love to be part of the committee to move the society forward and enhance it next year. Overall, I believe I have the organisational and finance skills required to be Treasurer and I am also a quick learner which will be useful during this role.
