Real Estate Society: President

Having attended most of the RE events and being an active member of the community through engagement with peers both in UCL and other universities, I believe I am well-suited for the role of President.

I aim to bring my own expertise of real estate to the society, bringing in the perspective of the construction industry, in which I have worked for the past 1.5 years whilst completing my Masters in CEM on a part-time basis.

However, this will coincide also with my aim to have more events around corporate real estate with industry partners, and engage a larger portion of the postgrad community into the events, with an emphasis on passing down their knowledge to the undergrads. 

My YouTube channel centred around early careers and personal startup endeavours in the self-development, construction and property industry will help me to adapt to the needs of the society and engaging with the rest of the team to carry on the legacy by Edward and his team. 

They will also fit very well together with my personal intentions, of wanting to break into Real Estate Private Equity upon the completion of my Masters next year, for which I am sure, and if chosen as President, will make sure, that I am not the only one with the same goal.

I am standing for president because I believe I have strong leaderships qualities and I am diligent and responsible in my everyday tasks. I feel my strong communication skills and personable nature would be a good fit for the presidency role. 

As a student with a strong quantitative background, I will be able to merge my love for numbers with my innate passion for real estate. 

Attending the Real Estate society's events this year opened my eyes to the considerable work they do in enriching the knowledge and educational experience of all students. I would love to be a part of this team next academic year. 

I would be grateful for the chance to serve the Real Estate community, whose events I have truly found invaluable in my first year of university. I look forward to helping to elevate our society’s impact even further!

Having previously served as the Head of Marketing for the Real Estate Society during my second year, I've had a firsthand glimpse into the power of holding the position of president in the Society. One of the most significant insights I gained from my experience was the role's ability to foster valuable industry connections, which motivates me to stand for the position.

Firstly, taking on the responsibilities of the President would undoubtedly sharpen my hard skills in market research, commercial awareness, and strategic planning. Secondly, it presents an unparalleled opportunity to refine my soft skills, particularly leadership, communication, and teamwork. Guiding a diverse group of individuals with varying backgrounds and skill sets towards a common goal demands effective communication and conflict resolution skills. These interpersonal skills are not only crucial in the realm of real estate but are also transferable to any professional setting, which will be useful to me in the future.

In conclusion, my decision to nominate myself for the position of President of the University Real Estate Society is driven by a desire for personal growth, a commitment to serving others, and a vision of creating a vibrant and close knit network of real estate enthusiasts. Through this role, I aspire to enhance my hard and soft skills while empowering fellow members to realise their full potential by facilitating interactions with industry professionals.
