Society of Engineering, Architecture and Design (SEAD): Vice President

Through my previous role as Media Lead and now VP of Arab and NA society - the largest of it’s kind in the UK, I developed my ability to organize large-scale events, establish an online presence – growing the society’s platform to a cumulative following of over 4k, and create opportunities which support students’ career development. With experience of managing 300+ members and 15+ annual events in Arab Soc, including it's first ever Careers Week, I am excited to bring this experience to SEAD.
My experience in stakeholder management through my role as Transition Mentor successfully promoted interaction between the year groups– which involved answering a lot of questions but nevertheless helped encourage interconnectivity between the MEng community!
During my experience as Deputy Head Girl and Head of the Diversity Committee at school, I learnt to facilitate dialogue between a leadership team of 20 students, a student council of 60+ representatives, staff and governors. That experience taught me how to turn ideas into actions driven by inclusivity and sustainability for long term impact. This is exactly what I want to establish at SEAD – a long term strategy.
I’m excited to help introduce events such as a SEAD Careers Week, bringing together firms, alumni and industry speakers. By creating opportunities for students to engage with professionals in the built environment, I hope to help members navigate the diverse career pathways available and make the process more exciting :)

I’m standing for Vice President because I’d love to continue contributing to the society and help it grow even further. Over the past year as Design Officer, many of you will probably recognise me from the biweekly (sometimes slightly less frequent!) newsletters with updates on our events, talks, and opportunities. Being part of the committee has given me the chance to see how much potential the society has to bring together people interested in engineering, architecture, and technology. As Vice President, I’d love to support the team in organising engaging events, strengthening our community, and creating more opportunities for members to get involved, share ideas, and connect with others. 😊
