The best thing a society can do for its members is put them in the right rooms. As Head of Events, that is exactly what I want to do.

I am a second-year Economics student who regularly attends the London Mathematical Finance seminar series across UCL, LSE, and Imperial, and have been actively building relationships with academics at UCL, Warwick, and Manchester through my independent research on numerical methods for derivatives pricing. I know what events actually add value for quantitatively ambitious students because I seek them out myself.

As Head of Events I would focus on three things: bringing in academics and industry practitioners as speakers, organising workshops that complement the technical work happening across society divisions, and creating networking opportunities that connect members to the broader London quant finance community.

My relevant background:

• Regular attendee of the London Mathematical Finance seminar series
• Active academic relationships with faculty at UCL, Warwick, and Manchester
• Placed 1st at UCL and 13th worldwide in Jane Street's Estimathon
• Quant research internship and independent derivatives pricing research
