After three years with UCL Badminton Club, including serving as President during the 2024–25 season where we achieved Club of the Year, this club has become a place I truly call home. I am standing again to give back to a community that shaped my university experience and to continue improving opportunities for all members. I will remain approachable, actively listen to feedback, and ensure members’ voices directly inform how the club develops.

My vision focuses on THREE key priorities:

(1) Accessibility & Courts
Court access remains our biggest challenge. I will continue working with TeamUCL to secure more court allocation while actively sourcing alternative venues closer to campus. My aim is to make badminton more accessible and simplify booking so sessions are clearer and easier to join.

(2) Competitive Excellence
UCL Badminton is one of the strongest teams in the southern UK. I will work closely with the captains to strengthen coordination, improve team bonding, and explore opportunities for competitive members to deliver structured coaching sessions for social members who wish to improve.

(3) Community & Member Experience
I will empower an expanded social team (up to 6 social secs), clearly separate welfare and social roles. I will explore options allowing friends to sign up for the same sessions, making participation more welcoming. The goal is a club where every member feels supported, included, and proud to belong.
