Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
  • Raise the profile of the Arts – I want to make the artsUCL brand a household name at UCL, with power and funding behind it, much like TeamUCL is for sports.
  • I will lobby the Union to keep buildings open later and provide better access to our spaces, studios and storerooms.
  • I aim to work with the IOE to make their performance venues easier (and cheaper) for our societies to use.
  • Work both short and long term – UCL is massive and change here takes time. I will write a comprehensive Arts strategy so that today’s priorities aren’t forgotten about in 3 years.
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

As President of Stage Crew society, I work very closely with our performing arts societies and so I know first-hand what needs changing within the Arts. I work in the Activities Team, so I already have good relationships with key staff members and am very familiar with the processes behind-the-scenes. My vision is also closely aligned with that of the Activities & Engagement Officer. I will use these connections to push our priorities to the top of the Union’s agenda.

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

I was on the team for 8 of our Bloomsbury Theatre shows last year through Stage Crew, so if I've already had the pleasure of working with you or your society, you’ll know that I am driven, determined and highly organised: a long-winded way of saying that I get stuff done. I have the passion, knowledge and connections to hit the ground running and make sure artsUCL gets the recognition it deserves.
