Clara Chu

As a Hong Kong citizen who has lived in Shanghai, Singapore, and now London, I’ve grown up around friends from all over the world, which showed me how widespread and influential the international student network is. I see this clearly in ABACUS, where I’ve formed friendships and connections I know I’ll cherish long after university. I believe many others feel the same, which is why I’m interested in becoming General Secretary. I want to help others experience that same sense of connection, enjoy their next three years fully, and graduate with a strong network and unforgettable memories.

I’m running for General Secretary because of my strong passion for social media, event promotion, and graphic design. The way a society communicates and markets its events is often overlooked, yet it plays a pivotal role in shaping its identity and success.

As First Year Representative, I’ve designed posts for Mahjong Night and End of Year Pres, giving me insight into what resonates with our audience and how strong visuals drive turnout. This summer, I interned at The Brewerkz Group in Singapore, promoting restaurants through TikTok and Instagram posts. I gained experience experimenting with filming, music, captions, lighting, and trends. Previously, as Head of Graphic Design for my high school yearbook and an IB Higher Level Visual Arts student, I developed creativity and technical skills to produce cohesive, eye-catching visuals aligned with ABACUS’s brand. So CHUse Clara Chu!
