Niyati Patel

Being part of Hindu Soc since the start of uni, I have always felt the warmth and sense of family it brings. From the Welcome Mela to watching the insane Rangeela acts, every event has always created the atmosphere of belonging.

Hinduism to me is not only about the traditions but the feelings we create when celebrating together. Being an FYR has meant I have seen the pure commitment that goes into producing these fulfilling moments, and seeing the behind-the-scenes has only made me want to contribute further.

My previous marketing and finance roles, alongside experience with leading events means I can work in high pressure environments and to tight deadlines. By designing Seva month posts and executing Rangeela from backstage, I have shown I can handle the responsibility and initiative needed to execute each and every event.

Hindu values have always guided my way of life and HSoc has been the foundation to remain rooted in them. The weekly Seva has been one reason, giving me the chance to give back despite the hectic uni experience. As Vice President, it is exactly this that I want to continue. I am standing to continue to strengthen this already amazing community with my leadership, humility and dedication to ensure that every member finds the same feelings of belonging and community. Being your Vice President would be an absolute privilege, and you can make it happen.
