Patience, adaptability, but most importantly the need for a sense of belonging are some of the notions this academic year has taught me. Attending the events and socials organized by the International Relations Society, as well as being part of the Board this year has been an invaluable experience for me. It has offered me the opportunity to connect with a multitude of students who share the same passion for global issues and who are dedicated to bringing their contribution to the society we live in. Fulfilling the role of Secretary would be my input for this outstanding and inspiring community that has radically changed for the better my experience as a first-year student.
The role of Secretary requires organizing and communication skills, as well as consistency and creativity. I reckon that my past experience in this Role has equipped me with the required "technical knowledge" and an extensive understanding of the mechanisms behind a successful society. My activity as a volunteer in Romania working with children has taught me the utmost importance of understanding the needs of the audience and adapting to them-crucial for facilitating good communication between the members of the Board.
My future plans are to continue creating a network and a safe space for students to share their ideas and learn as much as possible from a wide range of fascinating speakers.
In the end, it would be my pleasure to continue working for a society whose ideals I truly believe in.

I'm standing for IRS Secretary because I know I can make a positive difference in this position and I'm passionate about international relations. This year I have been fortunate enough to serve on the IRS committee. During my time on the committee, I've learned how to help organize and manage a society. I helped arrange some of our events including the US-China series. I look forward to using what I have learned on the IRS committee this year to help make out society even better. I have very strong organizational skills that make me ideal for the position of Secretary. I'm very good at responding to emails and managing projects. I also have a strong work ethic that would help me in this role. Finally, I'm passionate about international relations. My degree at UCL is in politics and international relations. In my free time, I follow news from around the world on Twitter and other news sites. Thank you for your consideration.
