Hi everyone! I'm Jasmine, a 1st year Communications student running for Sports Secretary & Welfare Officer. Having grown up sheltered in Hong Kong, ABACUS served as my launchpad to London life and became the place where I found my first group of friends.

But why sports?

From past Volleyball Team Captain to three years as House Captain organising sports events, I witnessed how sport unites a team while acquiring skills in organisation, team building, and leadership. As an NBA fan, I also understand the sense of belonging that sport creates, embracing the communal values ABACUS champions.

As Sports Sec, I aim to expand our sporting calendar to build unity and school pride, attracting wider participation. My initiatives include:

  • Inter-uni ABACUS League – A year-long points system across multiple sports, creating healthy competition between universities and reigniting passion for ABACUS sports

  • Sports for Wellness – Internal activities like group runs, pilates/ yoga socials, and e-sports sessions scheduled during low-motivation periods to support student welfare

  • Female-Inclusive Sports – More female-friendly options outside dodgeball and football, ensuring everyone feels welcome to participate

  • Multichannel Sports Promotion – Using platforms beyond Instagram to reach a sports-interested audience and boost participation

I'm excited to apply my external communication skills to this role, liaising with other universities to keep our members connected and passionate about ABACUS sports.
