UCL Badminton has been a defining part of my university experience. It has given me lasting memories and a family that I genuinely value, and I want to give back meaningfully.

That is why I am standing for Treasurer – to take responsibility for preserving and strengthening the financial foundations that allow our club to grow and thrive.

As Team England captain at the World Junior Championships, I oversaw team finances, tracking expenses and managing daily budgets during competition. Since the age of 14, I have independently managed my personal travel and tournament costs, both domestically and internationally, effectively acting as my own "treasurer".

If elected, my focus will be maintaining the club’s strong financial position while ensuring effective and fair allocation between competitive and social members. From member feedback, court access remains a key concern across the club. As Treasurer, I will work to maximise availability and flexibility by offering more court slots across various timings where possible, supporting the club’s aim of improving accessibility.

I will also ensure continued investment in both competitive performance and the social side of the club – supporting team-bonding activities and initiatives that strengthen the community at the heart of UCL Badminton.

Above all, I want you to feel confident that every pound you contribute is managed transparently and invested back into you, so that UCL Badminton continues to thrive both competitively and socially.
