Hi, I'm Radhika, and I'm running for this position because believe that I'm well-suited for the position of treasurer at UCLIS. Having been a member of the society for over a year now, I have grown to appreciate the intricacies of the role of the committee, and I believe that I'd be well-suited for the role, as an organized individual with a strong background in finance, and an expertise in managing and allocating funds. If elected, I would be committed to helping the society grow and thrive, contributing to its success as one of the most prominent and fast-growing societies at UCL.

I have developed a keen interest in the Investment Society this year, and have enjoyed the various events they have put on. 

I believe that I would be able to put my strong quantitive skills and love for financial systems to use in this Treasurer position. I am a reliable and tech-savvy individual who would enjoy the different tasks and responsibilities put forward to me. 

I would offer a creative insight into how to better develop this society. I would prioritise inclusivity and educational awareness, ensuring that every member has access to resources to better help them with their investing practices.

With a solid foundation in finance and a strong passion for encouraging students to join this dynamic sector, I want to maintain the financial health of our society and foster a diverse culture that develops professional skills and supports each member's ambitions.

My academic journey in economics and accounting, supplemented by extensive experiences in managing financial affairs in societies, has equipped me with a deep understanding of budget planning, managing cash flows and liquidity, and raising money. I am the founder of an organization, Gorilla Star, aiming to provide services to children in need. I recruited 200+ members and raised £2,200 through online promotion and merchandise fundraising in order to hold more events, which allowed me to gain many of the competencies necessary for a treasurer.

As Treasurer, I have multifaceted objectives. Firstly, I would ensure to grow our fund through prudent financial management and fundraising tactics, enabling us to hold additional workshops, networking events, and mentoring programs. In the new academic year, I also want to improve members' skills in finance and investment by holding simulation training and case challenges. Moreover, fostering strong relationships with sponsors and financial institutions will be a priority as it is crucial to expand our resources and opportunities. Above all, transparency and integrity will be the foundations of my tenure, and I commit to managing our society's finances with complete openness.
