Election post
I am a very organised person with strong skills in communicating with people and finding solutions to problems. I consider myself a very pragmatic and determined person and I believe it is the main reason why I could be a good fit for this role: when I face any problem I like to evaluate all the possible solutions and I am not happy until I find the best one. I am therefore very open to listening to student's troubles and find the best alternatives. My communication skills also allow me to be a good teammate, as I love to work in a group and I think this would make me highly engaged with all the other reps.
My aspiration for the future include the diplomatic world or the political life. Even if I am still a bit confused on which one of the two I wanna choose, I know that a leadership position in a big organisation like UCL will be a great start for both. I believe I will not only develop skills in leadership that you do not find in normal internships, but I will also perhaps clarify what I wanna do in my future. Personal experience aside, I hope to be a very active faculty rep and actually make a change/help when I am needed. I really hope students would be able to rely on me and know that I am a shoulder to lean on.
I believe one big advantage I could bring as a faculty rep is that I am a very active listener. I not only say this as a personal skill, but also as I have attended courses on active listening and I have studied and practiced the best techniques for this practice. The reason why I believe this is important, is that, when investing a leadership position, people rely on you to listen to them! People often just wanna be heard and I am sure that I can deliver that well :)
