Election post
Women at UCL are doing extraordinary things — and the network supporting them should reflect that. As a woman in Chemical Engineering, I know what it feels like to be in spaces where you're underrepresented, and I know how much a strong, well-funded community can change that experience. If elected, I want to ensure the network has the financial foundations to run events that genuinely matter — spaces for mentorship, connection, and visibility. Good treasurer work is invisible when it's done right, and that's exactly how I'll approach it.
I bring financial accountability, genuine community investment, and a perspective that's hard to teach. Managing charity bake sale budgets taught me that responsible spending isn't just about numbers — it's about making sure the right people benefit. As UCL's Course Rep I've learned how institutions work and how to navigate them effectively. But honestly, what I bring most is this: I'm a woman in STEM who's felt the difference a supportive community makes. That makes me not just capable of doing this role, but genuinely invested in doing it well.
I'm running because I genuinely believe the Women's Students Network deserves a Treasurer who understands what's at stake — not just financially, but personally. As a woman in Chemical Engineering, I've navigated spaces where representation matters deeply, and I know how transformative the right support can be. I have real financial experience, I know how UCL works, and I care about this community in a way that goes beyond the role description. Vote for me because the women of UCL deserve someone who'll protect every penny like it means something — because to me, it does.
In 200 years, UCL won't just be a university - it'll be a blueprint for the suture. Founded on the radical idea that knowledge belongs to everyone, I imagine a UCL without borders: degrees co-created across continents, campuses embedded in communities from Lagos to London, and disciplines so blended that 'student' and 'changemaker' become the same word. UCL was the first to welcome women and students of all faiths. In 200 years, I hope it's still asking: who are we still leaving out? Progress at UCL has never been comfortable - and that's exactly the point.
