Sci-Fi and Fantasy Society: Treasurer

Hi all! I am Mika, and I pride myself, for the role as treasurer, on being precisely the kind of probability-theory obsessed nerd that infests all online poker websites; that is to say, that I can handle money, and I believe I can handle the money of the Sci-Fi and Fantasy society too and I assure you that this is an acceptable logical leap to make.

You can trust me to:

• Work with the Events Officer and the President to ensure everything the society runs goes perfectly to plan
• Ensure that no money suspiciously goes missing, no matter how many devils may tempt me
• Make cool data visualisations and graphs to show people exactly where our money is going (in R, of course, there will be no matplotlib under my watch) with absolutely NO misleading axes, vile violin plots or liberal extrapolations, unlike my graph criminal competitors
• There will be plenty of spreadsheets too
• Always be open to suggestions for new services, board games or fundraising events for the society!

Please vote for me to be your new treasurer!

I’m Alessandra (though most know me as Ali), and I’m an international student studying biological sciences running for the treasury position.

The UCL sci-fi and fantasy community has always been uplifting, kind and full of creative and inviting individuals, with Wednesday evening board games always being a great respite from the stresses of student living, which is why I want to see it thrive ( and also ensure that our collective need for MORE board games can be fed ). To achieve this, I’d love to help put on more murder mysteries, escape rooms, important room at the table events, and socials (with food), as well as continuing to maintain the availability of merchandise and consistently listen to and, hopefully, fulfill wish list requests. Although filling out forms and dealing with money is not a very glamorous task, it is one that is imperative to the workings of the entire society, and one I’d greatly enjoy doing to its benefit.

The experience I gained holding presidential positions in the past (MUN and eco committee) has taught me much about responsibility and upholding it, with more directly applicable skills being fundraising, budgeting and resource management. This has also allowed me to build up my effective communication skills, which are, especially with other committee members and administration, incredibly important to actually executing fun plans and keeping everything running smoothly for society members.  Moreover, due to my degree, I often deal with large amounts of numbers, which I have to make
