Kashika Saxena

Hi guys, I’m Kashika, a first year med student, and I’m running for cultural & community/welfare officer for Indian society!

My aim as cultural & community officer would be to run as many events as I can to promote a sense of community in the society. Whether it be chai and chaat, movie nights, mehndi, or yoga, I want to give members the opportunity to engage with each other in a casual, comfortable environment.

As much as I loved the big events, I remember coming out of the smaller ones, like the mehndi event during freshers, feeling more personally connected to the culture, so I would love to run some more through the year.

As welfare officer, I will aim to keep harmony within the committee and its members. I describe myself as an approachable person and will ensure that I promote myself as a place for everyone to raise any concerns.
I also believe I would be a useful asset to the committee, having experience working in many different teams; throughout my experience as a First Year Rep, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working in a team with the committee having created so many fond memories. I would therefore absolutely love to continue the growth of the team next year!
