Callie Hou

Dear Members,

I am excited to run for the position of Treasurer at Real Estate Society 2024-2025! My decision to run for this role stems from my deep commitment to the Real Estate Society and my desire to contribute to its continued growth and impact within our community.

Being selected into the Future of Developer Club as one of the Real Estate Society partners, the inspiration I felt in the Real Estate Society made me realise how I wanted to help this society grow further. From coordinating guest speakers for the UCL Careers Fair to organising speed networking events, panel discussions and Entrepreneurship 101 sessions, I have developed sufficient experiences and skills in shaping diverse career opportunities for our members, particularly those, like myself, hailing from real estate, urban planning and design backgrounds.

My leadership journey and active involvement in campus activities have equipped me with a diverse skill set and a deep understanding of organizational dynamics. Some highlights of my experiences include:

• Organizing the annual careers conference, Share the Vision, at the HSBC headquarters and establishing lasting relationships with speakers and recruiters in Real Estate & Infrastructure Private Equity, Asset Management, and Hedge Fund sectors
• Engaging in first-year mentorship programmes within the Investment Society, Women in Finance Society, and ESG Society, while working in both the Women in Finance student committee and Guild student committee with potential cooperation in the next academic
