Election post
Hey everyone, I’m Ananya, a second year Economics student, and I’m excited to be running for the IDS committee! I’m from Manchester and ethnically from Andhra Pradesh. Dance has always been an important part of my life- I have been training in Bharatanatyam for as long as I can remember. Coming to UCL and discovering IDS has opened so many opportunities to experiment with and become more confident in different styles. In fact, something that I love about dance is that there are so many sources of inspiration you can take and you can constantly learn and evolve as a dancer.
My first experience with IDS was the 2023 Christmas cultural showcase where I was given a crash course on Kathak by my choreo, who is now one of my closest friends! The community is so supportive and something I would love to be further involved in next year.
Taking on the role of treasurer would allow me to utilise my skills in numbers, budget management and communication, both with sponsors and other members of the committee. As current Director of Social Events of the UCL Economists’ Society, I understand the importance of a reliable treasury to facilitate both annual events and the introduction of new events, to expand the reach of the society.
Thank you!
