I aim to improve the arts experience for students at all levels, mainly focusing on:
- Transparency and consistency
- Introducing consistent guidelines for the production process across societies to encourage a culture of inclusiveness.
- Continuing to build ArtsConnect as a central hub for society communication, event promotion, and inter-society collaboration.
- Performance venues: Working with UCL to improve access to affordable performance venues with enough pre-show tech time.
- Workshops: Providing professional-led training sessions for artsUCL-applicable skills, especially production team roles.
My experience in a range of arts societies, including Live Music, Musical Theatre, Jazz, and Stage Crew, has given me unique insight into UCL's student arts landscape. I’ve performed in eight Blooms shows and numerous small shows, music-directed several productions (including the record-breaking Shrek (2024)), and sound-designed Home (2025). Currently, I’m music-directing Sister Act and serving as Tech Officer for the Live Music Society. My extensive involvement in artsUCL has given me an in-depth understanding of the challenges arts societies face and the areas that need improvement.
The arts community at UCL provides an incomparable opportunity to explore any facet of performance and production irrespective of prior experience, and has led me to discover countless pursuits I wouldn’t have encountered otherwise. I’d like to spend my third year giving back to the community and utilising my skills to make an impact. My experience in a wide range of arts productions has given me a deep understanding of the challenges students and societies face and the knowledge and connections necessary to address them, which makes me an ideal representative for the artsUCL community.
