Election post

Status
Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
  • Having worked 3 years in consulting prior to my MSc, I have developed a knack for tackling problems and opportunities with a realistic approach - especially when trying to implement innovative ideas for change.
  • In my education, I take a very active approach to advocating for my hopes and needs - so I would love to also advocate on behalf of my peers in the Bartlett Faculty. As you know… there is power in numbers.
  • I also come from a diverse background & have lots of experience engaging in a multicultural context to bring people together.
  • I.e., since the start of my program this year, I have taken initiatives to connect my peers, set up my programs' WhatsApp community and engaged students from all backgrounds to get their ideas on their first weeks at UCL, what they were expecting, & feedback on what they were hoping for.
  • In terms of equipping students with an advantage in the very competitive job market, I have experience innovating solutions in my undergraduate career. During undergrad, I felt there wasn’t enough real-world experience infused in my curriculum. In response, I took the initiative to develop a business model aimed at enriching the curriculum and student experience with more structured opportunities to engage with local businesses through school projects (i.e., research, papers, dissertations, capstone projects). The non-profit business plan was for a university center that partnered students with local businesses to use their projects as an opportunity to make a real impact locally - all of which contributes to enriching the curriculum, strengthening students' networks and real-world skills, and providing businesses with advisory on how to green their operations in a cost-effective way.
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
  • Improve connections between people of all backgrounds in the Bartlett faculty.
  • Enrich the curricula with more real world examples and experience beyond theoretical solutions for a more practical and actionable application to solutions in the Bartlett faculty.
  • The disciplines covered under the Bartlett faculty are rapidly evolving, and within that model, there is value in having knowledge transfer-  not just between students but also to be fed to faculty so these valuable knowledge exchanges can be implemented in the curricula.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
  • I am approachable, proactive, solution oriented, and a natural diplomat. I believe that your educational experience is what you make of it - so if there is anything you wish UCL included in your experience, I would be happy to take your ideas and bring them to life.
    • For example, more opportunities to network, engage, work with industry professionals relevant to the Bartlett Faculty in and out of the classroom.
    • To get an advantage in the very competitive job market.
  • You should vote for me because I have a genuine interest in helping us make the most of our experience here at UCL and I have the skills to execute.
