Jiwoo Shin

Hello everyone! My name is Jiwoo Shin and if any of you who attended this year’s MOTC art exhibition remember, I am the artist of the artwork with the astronaut and colourful neuron trees. (The background image of my photo!)

I enjoyed the IC Neuro Soc’s events very much this year so I am motivated to be a part of the society’s committee and ensure every new and continuing member of the society can gain meaningful experiences like I did. Being the founder of the Neuroscience Society and the leader of two other STEM societies throughout 4 years in high school, I have extensive experience leading academic events, building websites, and writing countless emails for reaching out to professors and submitting project proposals.

Through the organisation and communication skills I have gained through my leadership experiences, I will contribute to the IC Neuroscience Society as a secretary by:

• Coordinating smooth committee meetings by sending reminders before the meeting and sharing organised meeting agenda after the meetings
• Ensuring effective communication with all members by sending at least two reminders before each event and leaving a survey form open for event feedback or any new event suggestions
• Updating society’s social media and website with the publicity officer and checking if they are up to date at least once a week.

Thank you so much for your time reading my manifesto and I would greatly appreciate every single vote from anyone!
