Hi, I am Christina, a first year Geography and Economics student at UCL. I understand that finance-focused societies such as Hedge Fund Society can be intellectually stimulating but also highly demanding. Balancing academic pressure, technical preparation and career ambitions can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially in competitive environments.

In high school, I served as President of the Economics Society, where I not only organised weekly academic sessions but also prioritised student wellbeing. I encouraged open discussion, created supportive team dynamics and ensured that members felt comfortable asking for help. I learnt that strong performance comes from a healthy and supported community.

If elected as Welfare Officer, I would focus on fostering a positive and inclusive atmosphere within the society. This could include informal check-in sessions before major competitions or recruitment cycles, stress management discussions during peak academic periods, and creating safe spaces where members can share concerns related to career anxiety or imposter syndrome.

My goal is to ensure that members of Hedge Fund Society feel supported, balanced and confident. Technical excellence and strong welfare are not opposites. A sustainable and high-performing community begins with wellbeing.
