Reason why someone should vote for you in 100 words or less

Transparency, Accountability, and Inclusivity. These aren’t just buzzwords; they are the backbone of a thriving student body. As VP Finance, this isn't just about managing money; it’s about building trust and ensuring that every member of our society feels represented What truly sets me apart is my drive to make our financial space more diverse and representative. I have a vision for a budget that doesn’t just cater to the traditional events and initiatives but also supports new ideas and underrepresented groups. Imagine a funding structure where diversity isn't just celebrated but actively funded.

Reason why someone should vote for you in 100 words or less

I will work hard to make sure that everyone can communicate with the VPF, making contact info more accessible and tripling office hours. I will increase awareness of how to request financial support, because Engsoc should be supporting everyone, not just those in-the-know. I will make it easier to shop from RigidWare and Novelties by creating an online order system and publishing accurate stock information. I keep POETS open during evenings and exams when you most need a space to chill. I will keep the website updated and the student body informed about what their fees are going towards.
