Election post: Societies Rep (Non-portfolio)
Status: Co-opted
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
I've been an active member of many societies at UCL, especially across music and journalism.
I hold committee positions in both Rare FM and Electronic Music Society, so I understand how societies are run, both internally and in association with the union.
My time spent in societies has been the highlight of my years at UCL and I'm really passionate about making them accessible, inviting, and most of all fun!
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
Societies are nothing without the people participating in and running them, so it's really important to me that everyone's voice is heard. I would raise any issues brought to me, and be transparent to anyone interested about the processes in place to keep our societies amazing and safe.
I don't think there should be barriers to people getting involved with the arts. I believe it's just as important to get newbies involved as it is to champion the talents of our most experienced performers. All societies should strive to have sufficient entry-level opportunities for beginner members.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
I love UCL's societies, and I want to keep them running with the members' best interests as priority. I'm friendly and approachable and want anyone with suggestions/concerns to raise them.
Everyone should feel comfortable in trying the arts, and I think offering frequent socials and beginner-friendly activities is a great way to achieve that. Also, I would definitely push for more inter-society collaboration, as fostering a wide network of creatives from different societies throughout UCL is important.
