Ina Zhang

With a solid foundation in finance and a strong passion for providing students with opportunities to volunteer, I want to maintain the financial health of our society and foster a diverse culture that demonstrates humanism and achieves overall social well-being.

My academic journey in economics and accounting, supplemented by extensive experiences in managing financial affairs in societies, has equipped me with a deep understanding of budget planning, managing cash flows and liquidity, and raising money. I was president of the largest volunteering society in my high school, and I am also the founder of an organization, Gorilla Star, aiming to provide services to children in need. I recruited 200+ members and raised more than £2,000 through online promotion and merchandise fundraising, which allowed me to gain many of the competencies necessary for a treasurer.

As Treasurer, I have multifaceted objectives. Firstly, I would ensure to grow our fund through prudent financial management and fundraising tactics, enabling us to hold more volunteering programs. In the new academic year, I also want to hold more workshops to discuss students’ ideas for new volunteering projects. Moreover, fostering strong relationships with sponsors and financial institutions will be a priority as it is crucial to expand our resources and opportunities. Above all, transparency and integrity will be the foundations of my tenure, and I commit to managing our society's finances with complete openness.
