I'm standing because I have a strong interest in social change on a global scale. A-Level geography opened my eyes to the global inequalities the world faces and the corruption of organisations meant to solve them. This society will give me a leadership role to create change and inspire other to join this amazing society. 

This society is relatively small, so it's essential to hold regular fun events in partnership with other societies so more people can find out about it. I aim to collaborate with law society, and UN society as people in them are more interested in social change. I myself have experience volunteering in a charity shop and my local library as I enjoy helping my community and I would love to give back on a larger scale, which this society will allow me to do. 

I thoroughly enjoy planning events, because people connect and have fun, and I book restaurants and venues all the time to spend time with my friends.

Events are where most members experience IDEA Society — so they need to be worth showing up to. Right now, guest talks are valuable but I think we can push further: hands-on workshops where members work through real emerging-market case studies, collaborative sessions with other UCL societies, and social events that actually build community rather than just fill a calendar slot.

My vision is a balanced programme across three pillars: insight (speaker events and panels with professionals from development, consulting, and social enterprise), experience (workshops, the pitch competition, and hackathon where members build real skills), and community (socials and informal networking that make people feel they belong). I'd also build a proper feedback loop — asking members after every event what worked and what didn't, so we improve throughout the year rather than repeating the same format. I've coordinated events and logistics across volunteering and academic settings, but what drives me here is wanting every IDEA Society event to leave members thinking "I'm glad I joined this."
