Ryan Kingston

Members of the UCL Space Society,

I am excited to present myself as a candidate for the role of Communications Officer. My experience as the General Secretary of UCL BioSoc has provided me with skills in creating a compelling online presence, serving as a reliable point of contact for members, and managing a vibrant and informative website.

As a dedicated point of contact, I have honed my interpersonal skills and developed a proficient understanding of the importance of fostering a supportive and inclusive community. I am committed to ensuring that every member's voice is heard and valued, fostering an environment of open communication 

As a student of biology with a keen interest in astro-microbiology (Favourite film is ‘Life’, and working as an astro-microbiologist is a major career goal; yes I am aware of the killer alien) Embracing fields such as astrobiology, astrophysics, aerospace engineering, and planetary geology, I aim to foster a culture of collaboration of various areas of research within our space society. 

This interest has been nurtured through my upcoming summer internship at The Open University at Milton Keynes, specifically within the AstrobiologyOU Division, where I'll delve into microbial heavy metal remediation and repurposing. I am confident that the insights and connections I gain from this experience could greatly benefit the members of our society.

With your support, I am confident in my ability to serve as an effective Communications Officer
