I believe the UCL Geography Society plays a pivotal role in shaping the student experience. For geography students, particularly freshers, it serves as a direct gateway to the community and their degree, fostering an initial sense of belonging. Beyond the department, the society connects geography to the broader UCL community, engaging students in discussions, events, and activities, inspiring curiosity, providing ease and support, and fostering memorable bonds and friendships. I want to help facilitate these experiences by standing as Events Director for the UCL Geography Society, contributing to the social engagement and connection of geography within UCL.
My experiences in relevant roles help inform my decision and make me well-suited to the role. Having been a social prefect in sixth form, I’ve gained relevant experience creating, managing, and executing a range of different events, from leading celebrations of culture and community to a focus on student wellbeing and sports. A proud success of mine includes managing, fundraising, and planning our graduation ball with over 650 attendees alongside my team. I can't wait to leverage my experience to adapt to current legacy events in UCL geography—like the ball—but also expand opportunities and create dedicated spaces for geographical pursuits. Beyond this, my enthusiasm and positivity also enable me to be a well-fitted committee member. I hope to contribute to the society's productivity, growth, and continuity! Thank you!
