Status
Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
In the past year, I have been active in my involvement in the university especially in the volunteering area. I have partaken an audit training and practice on UCL Green Impact in evaluating sustainability of faculties in UCL. I also have served a term in an NGO, based to combat education inequalities in Malaysia where I worked to assess impact of our programs among the beneficiaries. I was a team leader in one of the teams in SU language and cultural fair involving young primary school students, held in IoE. Last summer, I completed a 4-week internship program with a fund management company.
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
I would like to assist SU in seeing expansion in numbers of students involved in volunteering activities. I would love to be in position where I could contribute ideas, or channeling peers' ideas to make volunteering activities more fun. I personally find it so rewarding, however, the first dip in the water might be the hardest step out of all! I want to make volunteering more approachable by improving inclusivity and support for interested individuals to take up volunteering. I also think that we could always improve on surveys after the event to ensure that volunteers are benefitted.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
I have taken few years in revising my skills and my core values. From then, I have become more clarified about my goals for the community around me. Apart from I have become more confident as a 2nd year student in UCL, I believe in my abilities in bringing changes to the students within this university. Especially as an international student, I resonate with a big portion of the students whom are more likely to feel discouraged and helpless about getting out there. I would like to be a representative for friends alike through interacting, more inclusive and approachable events.
