I'd love to create an amazing experience for freshers next year where they can make lifelong memories from a huge range of exciting social and cultural events. Being a freshers rep this year was such an incredible experience where I made countless memories in events such as games and movie nights, cultural celebrations, Rakkamma and Panithuli! I would love to work on new events and I gained a variety of skills from event planning to organisation and communication that will help for this role. I am willing to listen to new ideas and feedback from freshers and will ensure that we always take it on board so that Tamil society can continually grow to become bigger and better. As a first year, I understand that transitioning into uni can be daunting and full of uncertainties. It's therefore really important to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for new students and I am keen to help build a strong sense of community. I am determined to help give freshers an unforgettable experience where they can try new things, make lifelong friendships and incredible memories!
