Karina Gunawan

Hi! I'm Karina, a first-year BA Geography with Social Data Science undergraduate. I'm excited to run for this position because I strongly believe that showcasing our events and members is important in strengthening the society's identity and sense of community. I have strong experience in social media and marketing - from acting as a photographer for a football shirt business, to managing the Instagram content and website updates for an art gallery. As my high school's Arts Ambassador, I also promoted our talent show and arts festival through consistently communicating information to students and staff. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music whilst making arts-and-crafts like zine-making and crocheting. These experiences have taught me how to design posters, broadcast large events, video edit and create social media content, but I would love to expand these skills through this role.

If I am elected, I will ensure the society's aims and events are clearly and consistently communicated through accessible and visually engaging content. I will achieve this by being more active on Instagram and regularly update other platforms like LinkedIn and Linktree. I also want to document the society's academic events and socials to highlight the students' diverse geographical interests. To continue building a tight-knit geography community, I would focus on making the committee more accessible through FAQs and feedback forums to ensure students are properly supported.
