I am a first-year Media student running for Marketing and Social Media officer for the Turkish Society. Leaving my country for the first time this year, I feel culturally more connected, and I want to be a part of the Society to represent our cultural values in the UCL community.
I believe I am the perfect fit for this role as I have been the head of the social media department of UCL Cultured Minds. My part consisted of creating and designing social media posts and stories promoting volunteer recruitment to other UCL students. We also created materials to promote discussion forums and workshops to students from other London universities.
At high school, I have also been the Broadcasting and Executive member of our school’s live streaming and social media club, ACI Live TV. We shared the events held on the campus through social media platforms with students, families, and graduates. In addition, I prepared and created content and VTRs for special occasions and our YouTube channel. Besides, in summer 2020, completing an entry-level internship at Bloomberg TV, I had the opportunity to improve my marketing skills alongside my media skills.
UCL has a wide community of students interested in Turkish culture. I would like to promote the society to introduce and engage with a wider range of students. Using my experience of running and promoting a small business to 3000 followers on Instagram I feel confident that I would be able to transfer these skills to the running of the society. My confidence in using photoshop also means that I can create the necessary graphics for social media content. I believe that I can efficiently transfer these skills to further the outreach and presence of the Turkish Society within UCL.
