Working with the IDEA Society has been the standout experience of my Term 2. Being a winning team for the Emerging Economies Hackathon and helping scale solutions for Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) highlighted what I care about most: research that doesn’t stay on a page, but becomes something implementable, improves outcomes, has practical impact and sheds light on overlooked socio-economic issues. This is what makes IDEA Society unique!

What I’d bring & hope to add as Research Officer role is:

• Producing clear and accessible research briefs that translate complex academic insights into digestible content to increase awareness. 
• Spotlight high-impact organisations & under-represented issues,  highlighting innovative models such as BRAC's poverty-eradication model in Bangladesh. 
• Use my previous research-to-impact experience across various audiences: I've turned complex evidence into clear, actionable solutions- from Pakistan agriculture recommendations to community-grounded research (TCF/PWA), decision-ready frameworks (UCL Connect.ed), and accessible briefs (UCL Rethinking Economics). 

• Collaborating and liasing with other committees such as UCL Rethinking Economics to connect academic and policy debates to the real-world socio-economic issues they influence. 

  Thank you for your consideration, i'd really appreciate your vote 🙏💐!
