Election post
Hi everyone! I'm Yngie, a first-year Linguistics student and Bicolana running to be Filipino society's next Welfare officer! I'd love to do my part in making returning and future members feel like they have another family here in Filsoc, the same way the current committee have made me feel :p
As Welfare officer, I would be readily available to discuss issues/provide support for our members online (I basically live on instagram and tiktok). It is so vital to have a support system during your time at uni when there are so many factors which could affect your mental health!
While I can give members a safe space to talk about the serious stuff, I'm also always down to yap regardless of the subject! I'm someone with a lot of interests, including manga and anime, musicals, playing instruments, collecting, gaming... to put it simply, I don't judge! No matter what niche you're into, I'd love to hear about it and will always encourage others to embrace the things they love <3
Being born and raised in London, I'd also use my familiarity with the city to help newcomers settle in - moving here can be daunting but Filsoc is a great opportunity to make friends and explore new places or activities! If voted in, I would love to continue the family system and organise more events which help bring members closer together. Even though I'm only first-year, I just know that the moments I've spent with filsoc will be some of the defining memories of my uni years :)
