Election post
Hi everyone! I’m Chloe Chen, the former Editor-in-Chief of Blog of Genetics Society and I am running for the Treasurer position📮.
I am a rising third year BSc Biological Sciences student in the Human Genetics Stream, and I had been a member of the Gen Soc for 2 years. Having previously served as the Blog Editor as well as an active member of the committee, I am very familiar with how things function in the society. As one of the Project Leaders of Zero Food Waste SLP within the Student Union, I’ve gained first-hand experience with Union procedures, budgeting, and financial accountability.
I’ve organised academic conferences, talks, social events, and group trips, which has strengthened my coordination and organisational skills. I’m also detail-oriented and responsible. Personally, I keep clear and accurate records in my money flow with techniques I learned from my dad (he did an econ major🥸). As Treasurer, I would ensure our funds are carefully managed and strategically used to support engaging academic events and memorable socials for all members. I would learn from this year’s experience and aim to secure more sponsorship particularly for refreshments and meals for the events🍕.
I would be honoured to continue serving as a committee member in Gen Soc, dedicating my third year to contribute to more fun and engaging society events that we will be hosting next year! I hope to be able to stay with the amazing members of our committee. Please do vote for me as the Treasurer:)
