Election post
Salsa Society has been the heart of my first year at university, and I’m running for Social Secretary to help create even more unforgettable experiences for our community. As someone who started as a complete beginner, socials gave me the confidence to put myself out there, and I want to encourage the same growth in new members. For existing members, I know what makes a great night out: student-friendly deals, accessible venues, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back.
I’ve attended nearly every salsa social, from Phineas jazz nights and IOE hangs to Flow, BOS, and Salsa Temple. Being part of the winning bachata team also deepened my involvement in the society, allowing me to connect with regulars and understand what makes socials enjoyable and well-attended. My friends will tell you I never stick to personal time limits when it comes to socials- if I say I’ll leave early, I’ll always end up staying because I love the energy and the people.
Beyond salsa, I’ve been a First-Year Rep for GovPolSoc, where I successfully promoted freshers’ events and encouraged participation in many socials. This experience has made me comfortable juggling responsibilities and making sure events are clearly advertised and well-attended.
If elected, I’d organise a mix of salsa and non-salsa events, from student-friendly nights out to relaxed pub meetups, ensuring there’s something for everyone. I love this community, and I’d be thrilled to help make next year’s socials even better!
