What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

I have been on the committee of the LGBTQ+ Network since 2020 and for the past 2 years I have been organising and running 3+ events a week, which I will continue doing next year. I am a very welcoming and friendly person and I aim for the events to be fun and enjoyable so that students can friends and enjoy their time at UCL, as that is the most important. I was co-LGBTQ+ Officer this year and thus I know not only how to run the network but also what UCL LGBTQ+ students want and need. I have also a lot of connections with LGBTQ+ charities and other societies, networks and universities

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

I will ensure that there are mutliple fun, welcoming, accessible and interesting LGBTQ+ events each week so that students can enjoy their time in the network. I have a lot of experience both within the LGBTQ+ network and in running events in multiple groups and I have helped a lot of students make friends over the years through these events, which I want to continue doing so  I will also be able to help the new committee next year plans due to my experience and knowledge of network systems.
