Onali Perera

Gazette: Clubs and Societies Editor

Hi again everyone! My name is Onali and I'm a 4th-year with lots of ideas. You may have also seen me as a candidates for next year's academic editor, but I believe I have a lot to contribute to committee and a wide-ranging skillset that also fits this role. If I was voted in, I would:

  • Use my contacts in ICSM Drama and other ICSM societies to create comprehensive, concise and entertaining pieces highlighting Medic CSP opportunities and variety.
  • Create interesting polls/surveys about the student body's involvement in arts and education.
  • Introduce meaningful opinion pieces and voice the issues that matter to ICSMSU societies in a different section.
  • Write out FAQs to make joining societies less intimidating, as well as broadcasting key details about how the student union runs. This could also be re-used and updated for future years, and would be a useful way of recording my own years of experience into one place.

I am a writer at heart, and would love to write articles/features if needed. The key is consistency, good communication and teamwork. As an executive and committee member in the past of Poetry and ICSM Drama, and a regular volunteer in Paediatrics and Vision among other things, my organisational skill is enough to meet deadlines and taut requirements. I also have editorial skill from tutoring/blogging/essay-marking and extensive experience in Procreate/Canva.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you consider voting for me!
