My goal is to ensure that international students feel not just included, but truly represented and supported within UCL community.
I plan to enhance communication between international students and the university by providing clear, accessible updates on key issues such as visa regulations, academic resources, and career opportunities. Additionally, I will introduce structured forums where students can voice their concerns, ensuring that their needs are directly addressed. By working closely with the Student Officer, I will help shape agendas that prioritize international student interests.
As a dedicated international student advocate with experience in leadership and communication, I am well-prepared to excel as Secretary of the International Students’ Network.
In high school, I served as the secretary of the International Student Council, where I took detailed minutes, coordinated student-led initiatives, and facilitated discussions between students and school administrators. As an editor for ucl law society's commercial awareness newsletter, I honed my ability to synthesize key information.
