COUNT ON SOMEONE WHO CAN COUNT- VOTE FOR RUI AS TREASURER!

Get to know me!

I’m a first-year law student from Singapore, who has previously studied in Paris and Berlin. With an avid passion for increasing diversity in the legal sector, I am committed to playing an active role in the Lawyers without Borders society, creating meaningful events that are both enriching, while getting to know people from various backgrounds. Email me at @rui-en.chew@kcl.ac.uk for any questions! :)

I aim to...

Budget  Improve upon the current budgeting system and systematically manage finances in a clear and organised manner, so as to appropriately allocate expenses for events.
Events  Create and apply for funding requests in order to support and fund events, in so as to maximise our budget and plan meaningful and fun events.
Fundraisers  Along with the committee, continue organising insightful and collaborative events to raise awareness on liberation months through the effective setting up of fundraisers. I will pursue fundraising and sponsorship opportunities with fervour.

What I can offer:

Budgeting skills

As the treasurer of my high school's Student Council, I have experience in managing finances and keeping track of spendings, successfully organising school events. I was a Junior Analyst at a second-hand start up clothing store, and was in charge of inventory, setting up an elaborate system of logging vast amounts of clothing.

Mathematical Skills  I am proficient with Excel and numbers, having represented the International School of Paris in several Mathematics competitions. I was in advanced mathematics classes throughout middle and high school.
Being a team player I enjoy working in teams, having been part of the Varsity Girls' Basketball and Volleyball team in high school, and now a player in the GKT Netball team. I love collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds to maximise our potential. 
Communication  As an avid volunteer, one of my most memorable experiences was volunteering as an English teacher to primary school kids in Cambodia, through which I refined my communication and interpersonal skills.
Problem-solving I worked as a waitress in an esteemed restaurant, and honed my problem-solving skills, having to resolve unexpected issues in a high-pressure environment.
Open-mindedness I have lived in Singapore, France and Germany, attending both public and international schools, creating memorable friendships from all over the world. As the co-chair of my high school's MUN club, I learnt how to work with and understand a myriad of perspectives and ideas. 

Why you should vote for me

My interests and passions lie in the legal, humanitarian and advocacy sector, and I feel that my values and motivations align with that of this society. A vote for me would be a vote for the continuation and improvement of the already high standard of events, content set up by this society. I will do everything I can, with the team, to create impactful and awareness-raising events through the effective maximisation of the budget.

THANK YOU!
