Hi! I would love to be trauma chair for surgical society this year and have lots of experience! Working as Potmed lead, under MM, and running events like the Potmed conference and intensives gave me firsthand experience of how to organise massive events with 200+ attendees. The same skills of contacting speakers, organsing volunteers and a subcom and managing huge numbers of people on a day, are all skills I learnt and think will naturally transfer to trauma chair!

Whilst the skills I developed during my time as potmed lead on MM comm directly transfer over, my leadership roles in other societites will inevitbaly help too! I have been ICSMFC 5s captain for 3 years and now an official Imperial ambassador, Paksoc events officer and 6-time Global summer school pastoral mentor.

Through encouragement from the previous chair and good friend Yousuf, I ultimately chose to apply as I loved organising big events like these and found a love for academic research, being involved in many projects this year. Heading into a lighter 5th year and with the skills I've learnt throughout my time at Imperial, I know I can deliver an incredible event this year and would love your vote! :)
