Aleana Haziyah

Hi everyone! I’m Aleana, a second‑year History of Art student, and I’d love to be your next Business Development Officer! 🤝

I’m running because I’m passionate about bringing in fresh voices and new industry perspectives, and I’d love to introduce more talks, panels, and collaborations with speakers who reflect the breadth of the art world today (#LinkedInWarriorWannabe). Since we already have great merch, I’d love to create a distinctive ABS signature that makes our events even more memorable, so professionals leave thinking, “This society stood out, I want to work with them again!” 🎤🌟

As Sponsorship and Volunteering Secretary for UCL Cheerleading, I’ve learned how to secure partnerships, communicate professionally, and navigate the chaos of the SU - experience that’s made me confident pitching ideas and building relationships. That foundation was strengthened by studying History of Art in sixth form, where I won subject prizes and was a Subject Ambassador, and later through gallery internships in London and Kuala Lumpur. Together, these roles taught me how institutions operate behind the scenes, how different parts of the art ecosystem connect, and how to represent a team with clarity and confidence. I’m always keen to visit new exhibitions and speak to people working in the field, and I’d love to channel that curiosity into events that genuinely support members’ career ambitions! 🌍

I hope I can count on your vote! 🗳️🩷
