Ishna Chaudhary (She/Her)
Accountable finances. Unforgettable experiences.
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

As an international student myself, I know how much the right event or the right support at the right time can mean — and how quickly that disappears when funding isn't managed well. I want to make sure the International Students Network has the financial foundations to actually deliver for its community. I've managed budgets hands-on through charity bake sales, and I bring the same careful, accountable approach here. My goal is simple: ensure every pound the network has is spent where students feel it most — and that no good idea ever falls through because of poor financial planning.

What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

I bring three things to this role: lived experience, financial accountability, and genuine care. As an international student, I understand this community from the inside — the challenges, the moments that matter, and what meaningful support actually looks like. I've handled real budgets through charity bake sales, balancing income and expenditure to maximise impact for a cause. As UCL's Course Rep, I've learned how to work within institutional structures and get things done. I'm organised, dependable, and treat every responsibility I take on as something worth doing properly.

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

I'm an international student who knows what it feels like to find your community at UCL — and how much it matters that the network supporting you is run well. I'm not just passionate about this role, I'm qualified for it: I've managed real budgets, I understand accountability, and I already know how to work within UCL's structures as Course Rep. Vote for me because the International Students Network deserves a Treasurer who treats every penny as an opportunity to make someone's experience here better — and who genuinely means it

David Flori (He/Him)
The Triple Treasurer - Thorough, Trustworthy, Transparent
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

As The Triple Treasurer, I’ll turn the ISN into a powerhouse mirroring UCL’s disruptive spirit. To be Thorough, I’ll launch a ‘Resource Roadmap’ to track every pound, ensuring funds drive high-impact events. To be Trustworthy, I’ll leverage my fundraising expertise to secure multi-year corporate sponsorships and postgraduate pathway grants. To be Transparent, I’ll host monthly drop-in ‘Open Ledgers’, so our diverse community can see exactly how their fees are reinvested. I won’t just oversee a budget, I’ll expand our capacity to advocate, celebrate, and support every student.

What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

I bring the proven track record of The Triple Treasurer. Leading a civil service club of 130 members, I rose from Treasurer to President—a transition fueled by the Trust I built through meticulous financial integrity. To the ISN, I bring Thorough technical expertise: I have mastered complex fundraising, negotiated high-impact contracts, and optimised limited resources to maximise community benefit. My experience is grounded in managing an ‘Open Ledger’ for a large organisation, ensuring Transparent communication. I offer a blend of seasoned leadership and fiscal discipline.

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

Vote for The Triple Treasurer. My experience leading 130 members from Treasurer to President proves I deliver results, not just promises. I’m not here to just ‘manage’ funds, I’m here to expand them. By being Thorough in my ‘Resource Roadmap,’ Trustworthy in securing corporate sponsorships, and Transparent with monthly ‘Open Ledgers,’ I will ensure your union fees work harder for you. I bring the fiscal discipline of a President and the grit of a fundraiser. Choose a leader who turns transparency into action and budgets into opportunities. Vote for impact.

Hi everyone, I am Natalie!

  2. Secure more funds for cultural societies to organise affordable social events.
  3. Host engaging events, including cultural networking opportunities, encouraging greater interaction among UCL's 18,000 international students.
  4. Organize career fairs featuring companies from various countries to support international students pursuing global career opportunities, including those in their home countries.
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

As past year’s International Students' Network Social Secretary, I  will bring strong organisational and communication skills from my experience. As an international student in the UK for 6 years, I understand our challenges and believe my firsthand experience equips me to advocate effectively for our community. My bilingual proficiency in English and Chinese helps bridge language barriers, promoting better communication. Most importantly, my enthusiasm for enhancing the student experience will drive me to create enjoyable and inclusive social opportunities for all international students.

Please summarise why students should vote for you.

Students should vote for me because I will make the International Students' Network more organised, inclusive, and engaging. I will ensure international students’ voices are heard and their concerns addressed. With my experience in event coordination, bilingual communication, and advocacy, I am the ideal candidate for this role. By voting for me, you are choosing someone who values efficiency, inclusivity, and student well-being, ensuring a better experience for all international students at UCL.
