Election post
My advanced skillset refined from COVID-19 to today - where I have unlocked:
- My 165wpm on monkeytype.com (please sponsor me) - the speed on these fingers tapping away at my laptop: NO details will be missed in meetings
- My witchy piano fingers - read above again ^^ 😝😝
- My battles with the Faculty of Life Sciences - I've been advocating during SPCs, with experience organising Bioscience society meetings / events - I will always turn up for a good fight for advocacy
- My humble retirement from Anatomy Society as Secretary - I've already been managing deadlines and keeping detailed records (source: me)
Assuming the Victoria line doesn't arrest me again at Seven Sisters for an hour, I hope as your secretary I can:
- Support accessible systems - I'd love to organise hybrid meetings and digital archives, ensuring that as commuters, members of the Commuting Network Committee are not excluded from decisions due to travel constraints (this is so meta ☠️☠️)
- Streamline communication - I can ensure accurate documentation, where recurring issues will be tracked to build evidence for policy changes
- Advocate for commuter-specific resources - storage facilities, more quiet spaces, travel cost support, etc.
I am a victim of Greater Anglia and the Victoria line / Northern line (I blame my parents for settling in Cambridge); I understand the commuter student life firsthand.
- I have the organised experience, I will advocate for commuter-specific needs (even if I'm sometimes a 1.5 hour train away)
- I'm reliable and efficient - and I will show up even during delays (assuming I get my delay repay back pls)
- I will make documentation work for the network (ooh that rhymeee badum tsssssss)
Commuting won't be a disadvantage! I hope UCL will have created a solution for hybrid learning, where your home location will not affect your student experience quality. I hope time poverty is properly recognised, where people who commute will have different scheduling needs - and where opportunities won't assume everyone lives on campus.
Maybe we'd also have teleportation?? (jkjkjk unless??) - because I'm so done with the TfL . . . regardless, we'll still need secretaries in 2226 to document all of this 😉😉
