Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
Since my very first day at UCL (quite literally - I came in for an audition!), I have been heavily involved in the performing arts community. Over the past few years, I have performed in many UCL productions, such as A Midsummer Night's Dream (2023), King Charles III (2022), 9 to 5 (2022), My Land's Shore (2022) and Machinal (2021), and I have served on the committee for both Musical Theatre and Drama Society, organising events for society members and meeting others within the community. Beyond UCL, I have also performed with external companies (Almeida Theatre, Burnt Orange Theatre).
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
I hope to be a bridge between the arts community and the Union. I'd like to represent the voice of the performing arts student body and raise their concerns during meetings; being a performer, these concerns will always be at the forefront of my mind. I also hope to work closely with other officers, such as the Arts, Societies and Activities and Engagement Officer to ensure an open channel of communication between the students and those elected to represent them, such that these concerns can reach the individuals responsible for making decisions that will impact the entire arts community.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
As someone who often describes her uni life as 80% artsUCL and 20% degree, I know (as do the people who have worked with me) that I commit myself fully to any responsibility I take on - I don't believe in doing things halfheartedly. And as a performer myself, students can be assured that I know, and have personally experienced and felt many of the concerns that arise within this community. In addition, years of involvement with artsUCL have given me many connections within the arts community, which puts me in a good place to liaise both with and between societies.
