Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

Hi all! I’m Elisia, current President of the Dodgeball Club and proud UCL Panther! As a student who began their competitive sport journey at UCL, my goal is to increase inclusion and access to competitive university sport for complete beginners. 

My sports experience at UCL includes: 

  • Being a President, Captain, and team member of the Dodgeball Club since my first year of study. 

  • Refereeing at Project Active UV Dodgeball and Accommodation tournaments. 

  • Coaching the Dodgeball Club’s enthusiastic, new members in this year’s Fresher’s tournament. 

What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

I believe that sport plays such a big part in both physical and mental health at university (it definitely helped me balance the stresses of medical school!) and should be accessible for all UCL students. If elected into this role, I plan to: 

  •  Expand the number of non-BUCS beginner-friendly activities and tournaments within sports clubs and the wider TeamUCL community. 

  • Help increase the number of student coaches, by working with TeamUCL to facilitate access to coaching courses. 

  • Encourage collaboration between the social and competitive members of sports clubs. 

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

Sport has been the highlight of my experience at UCL and I believe it can be [that] for so many more students, if we lessen the pre-requisites that unconsciously exist in sports.  

My passion for better inclusion in competitive sport is driven by my own experiences and I want to amplify and support the voices of students who wish for their experiences, as a beginner within the sporting community, to be heard too.
