Ukrainian Society: Communications Manager

Hi - I'm Sonia (Sofiia)! I am a first-year Politics, Sociology and East European Studies student at SSEES and am very excited about the opportunity to contribute to the vibrant community of the ucl.ua.

As a Ukrainian student, I'm passionate about helping Ukraine gain more recognition in the international arena and believe that promoting it here at UCL is a great way to start. That is why I decided to run for the position of Communications Manager at the Ukrainian Society.

Over the past two years, I've had the privilege of working as an SMM manager, where I've honed my skills in navigating diverse communication channels and implementing effective strategies that enhance engagement. I'm confident that these skills, coupled with my commitment to educating about our country, would make me a great fit for the Ukrainian Society committee member. 

As Communications Manager, I will work closely with the committee members to ensure we work collaboratively to achieve our shared goal - promoting Ukraine in all its diversity. In addition, I guarantee clear and productive communication with the society's members and wider audiences. I will make sure we listen carefully to your needs and suggestions so that the committee can take effective actions towards fulfilling them.

Slava Ukraïni!

Hey! I’m Sonya and am running to be your Communication Manager. 

Shortly, I came to the UK being 14, exploring all the best and worst boarding schools can offer, and landed at UCL studying Human Sciences. Currently, I am part of the Ukrainian and Fashion Society, with a great passion for marketing and finding talented people, which UCL UA has so many! 

I have worked with the largest Ukrainian media group on the anti-propaganda project where we effectively disputed all the disinformation shared amongst Eastern European TV platforms. This gives me a very good ground in information collection and analysis of it. As mentioned, I love fashion, and was lucky enough to work with a few designers in Kyiv on set, both set prep and the shooting process itself. And so, having a bit of experience here and there I concluded to myself that I love communicating with people, and good ground between team members is a must for a great project. UCL UA is a great project, where I wish to bring my passion for bringing the best people together. 

Thank you for your time and Slava Ukraini!
