I’m standing to be Social Media Rep because UCL Tamil Society has genuinely shaped my university experience. Through TSoc events, I’ve met so many new people and made some of my closest friends. I would love to give back by helping promote the society and its events through this role.

Even before coming to UCL, I admired the UCL Tamil Society social media pages. They were engaging and welcoming, and they played a big role in building my excitement about university. Social media creates first impressions, and I understand how important it is that every post makes people feel included and excited to get involved.

I have experience running social media for my school’s charity committee, where I helped plan a new marketing approach for our annual cabaret. Through creative promotion and strategic posting, we achieved a record number of attendees and raised the highest amount ever for the event. I also helped market my school’s podcast, coordinating with other schools to ensure content was posted at optimal times.

Alongside balancing medical school with volunteering roles, and previously juggling leadership positions with my A-levels, I’ve developed strong organisation and time-management skills. I’m creative, reliable and passionate about ensuring TSoc’s online presence reflects the welcoming and fun community it truly is.
