Hey everyone! I’m Ushaa and I’m a 1^st year biochemistry student. I am standing for the position of social media officer for KCL Bioscience Student Association. I believe this role would give me the chance to be involved in a society with like-minded individuals who wholeheartedly support those in bioscience. Being an avid user of social media puts me in a great position to take ownership of running the society’s social media platforms.

Social media such as Instagram and LinkedIn hold great power over the success of the events and efficient management ensures that society members are engaged. I have had experience creating blogs relating to key biological concepts where I was able to develop my communication and teamwork skills, which are applicable to ensuring that our society maintains our unique brand.

I am also passionate about inclusion within bioscience meaning that I will ensure that we dedicate time and effort into ensuring all members feel supported and included. My priorities would be to ensure that relevant information about our events is communicated to our members, remain active on social media (such as posting regular stories/polls to engage members, create posts to acknowledge special days within bioscience) and in whole liaise with committee members when planning events.

I’m excited to meet and work with other committee members to ensure that KCL Bioscience Student Association holds successful events, grows its reputation, and creates meaningful memories for everyone!
