Pia Choudhary

Having joined UCL this September, I had tried out some societies but never felt like I fit in or enjoyed the activities much. I challenged myself by joining Yoga Soc in January and have met so many lovely people, and yoga has helped my mental health immensely (especially since I've just been diagnosed with PMDD). I always leave the classes feeling happier and lighter than when I entered! I would really like to be more involved in the planning/management of the society because I'm very organised and a strong communicator, but I can be a bit shy and feel that this role would be a great way for me to meet other people involved in the society while building my confidence and social network.

I studied Graphic Design at GCSE and designed posters/tickets for school events such as prom, so I'm accustomed to using Canva and Photoshop. Aside from that, I am very creative, enjoy all forms of art and wrote my first essay at university on the benefits of digital and physical art for mental well-being. If I got the position, I would post regular mindfulness/affirmations, fun polls (i.e. what is your favourite pose) and more class/music suggestion boxes. For me, designing the social media posts for the society would be fulfilling and enjoyable, as well as building my confidence and friendships to hopefully run for a role with broader responsibilities in the future.

I would be happy to share some of my graphic design work if asked, and thank you for considering my application! :)
