When I applied for European Social and Political Studies, I knew that I wanted a degree that offered a plethora of choices in multiple fields of study. With an interest in history, politics and languages, this degree was the perfect fit for me. What I was not aware of before university was the incredible support network offered by the EISPS society. Organising multiple events, such as embassy visits and the Polyglot Cafe, allows us to explore our interests further outside of university and meet like-minded people along the way. As treasurer, I would like to continue the legacy left behind by past leaders of the society. Previously, I have been in a leadership role as Deputy Head Boy in my sixth form. Most notably, I organised the first culture day. This included meetings with the school board, funding it through various campaigns and leading the school events for the week. Looking beyond the useful skills I have developed through this experience, I got to share my love for different cultures, including my own, and create a nurturing environment for future discussions. The responsibility of organising the funds for culture day, prom and other school events is suited for the requirements needed as treasurer. This is supported by my A* in Maths A-level. The most important aspect of this role for me is helping the society continue to support our members by ensuring the continuation of these immersive events.
