Anthropology Society: Secretary

Hi everyone!

I’m Phaedra, currently on my year abroad in Toronto, and I’m really excited to be running for Secretary of the UCL Anthropology Society as I return for my final year!

During my first two years at UCL, the society and department created a strong sense of community that made me feel welcome and connected. That experience motivates me to help ensure the Society continues to be an inclusive space that brings students together through engaging events, and socials.

As the secretary I will ensure our committee meetings are organised, minutes are posted promptly and that everyone stays in the loop. Through my part-time work and an internship, I gained admin experience that will help me to support the entire team and ensure that everything runs smoothly allowing us to focus on putting on great events. 

Thank you for considering me for the role!
