My experience in the Art Business Society has been a positive one: from visits to auction houses to art exhibitions, it has solidified my decision to be more involved in the society through being part of the organising committee. Being a Treasurer will allow me to gain further insight into the art world by providing a different perspective through being behind the scenes. I understand that being a Treasurer would not only mean that I would have to manage the budget but also participate in event planning. For that, I would propose exciting new opportunities like collaborations with other societies, industry leaders in high fashion, and even society-wide overseas trips.

I have various experiences in organising events and managing budgets, particularly the Model UN conference in my high school with over 300 participants. As the Deputy Secretary-General, I oversaw the creation of the conference schedule, planned engaging activities for delegates and liaised with guest speakers. Along with my responsibilities, I also helped to manage logistical matters like merchandise, finding sponsors, pricing tickets and ensuring the budget is fiscally balanced.
