Society of Engineering, Architecture and Design (SEAD): Society Secretary

Having been First Year Representative last year and Web & Media Officer this year, I have spent the past two years involved in SEAD and developed a strong understanding of how the society operates and the opportunities it can create. Using this experience, I want to continue strengthening SEAD as a society that connects students across the Bartlett, professionally and socially.

A priority would be increasing the visibility of student work and creative opportunities. The Bartlett produces a lot of innovative work that deserves to be shared. SEAD could showcase projects across courses while also promoting external architecture competitions and introducing SEAD-led competitions with creative briefs. These could run during quieter academic periods with longer timelines, giving students the opportunity to gain recognition for their work (building your CVs!).

I would also like to expand industry connections by continuing office visits, internship panels, and introducing “day in the life” talks from alumni. Additionally, student skill-sharing sessions could allow students to exchange knowledge in software and portfolio preparation.

I believe community and collaboration are fundamental to succeeding in demanding courses like those at the Bartlett. Creating opportunities to connect — such as architectural trips, active events, and more — strengthening the community. Through my SEAD involvement, internships, and consultancy experience, I would work to turn these ideas into reality.
