I have really enjoyed being a Lifestyle & Culture editor at Pi Online this year, getting to work with so many talented writers and co-editors, and seeing my commission ideas brought to life each week. I'd love the chance to take on the more expansive project which is Pi Mag!

Aside from my current role in Pi's editing team, I also have the relevant experience of creating and co-editing a literary magazine back at school. It's such a joy to see something through from idea to fully-realised issue, and there's nothing like print media for building intellectual community and providing that fulfilling creative buzz. As an English student I appreciate high-quality and original writing, I love to surround myself with it, and I have the skill-set and open-mindedness required by editorial work.

I really admire how Pi Mag reflects the diverse interests of UCL students, from poetry to science to politics, all brought together in one cohesive publication, and would seek to maintain this well-curated variety should I be elected. I believe Pi is an important part of UCL's cultural life and would want to keep the magazine in conversation with other societies and on-campus publications. Collaboration is the best thing about student journalism, and this role would be a great opportunity to foster exciting dialogue and produce something to be proud of together.
