Osbert Wong

Hi, I’m Osbert, a Year 1 BSc Psychology student, and I’m thrilled to run for Treasurer! As this year’s BIS Welfare Officer, I’ve gained insight into the society’s logistics. Coupled with my business experiences, I’m eager to re-contribute to BIS from a financial perspective and am confident in keeping BIS innovative and financially strong.

From being a school STEM Week Director to organising BIS’ Charity Social, I have experience ensuring financial sustainability without jeopardising event quality by finding sponsors and strategically allocating resources. As a Consulting Intern at Eureka Consulting Group, I forecasted budgets, mapped revenues and analysed economic trends. I also developed a 25-page finance report with profit-maximisation strategies for a tuition centre. My budgeting and financial forecast skills directly apply to managing BIS funds, and I look to optimise budgets and expand our scope.

As Treasurer, I strive for strategic financial planning at every planning stage by working closely with the President and Events team to ensure smart budgeting at the onset of each event. Moreover, I aim for transparency and objectivity in financial planning by using data-driven and business tools to forecast budgets and revenue. Lastly, I wish to secure external partnerships and sponsors to grow BIS and host bigger events.

With my financial and society experience, and passion for behavioural science, I’m committed to keeping BIS well-funded and growing! I appreciate your support!

Natasza Gleeson

Hi everyone, my name is Natasza and I'm excited to be running for the position of treasurer for BIS! Having been Communications Director for the current academic year, I've gained insight into many of the behind-the-scenes workings of the society, and would love to build on this experience. As a current second year BSc Social Sciences student, I have a background in both qualitative and quantitative research, as well as the intersection of psychology with other disciplines within the social sciences. Pairing this with my participation in various BIS initiatives, such as the Applied Projects and Nudgeathon, I believe I have built a strong analytical and organisational skillset, which would allow me to effectively manage society budgets and finances, to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible. 

The BIS opened a whole new realm of possibilities about my future, and seeing the positive impact the society can have, I would greatly appreciate being part of the committee and contributing to its growth, and helping to educate and inspire others. If elected, my goal would be to help BIS continue to grow and expand its reach, and provide a smooth and positive experience for all members through strategic financial planning and exploring funding opportunities, so I would greatly appreciate your vote to help make this happen!
