Thevinya Gurugama

Hi everyone! I'm Thevinya, a second year medic and I'd like to be your social media, web and procurement officer this year. Applying to medicine felt like an impossible task - I didn't know where to start. Having talked to current medical students and getting their advice was what put me on the right track.
I would like to reach out to as many prospective students as I can on social media platforms which can be quite a tedious job but I think I would enjoy it knowing that a future medical student will appreciate the effort, just like I did when I was applying.

My aim is to make our social media page a platform for prospective students to reach out to when in doubt or if they need any help regarding their application process

As the head of marketing in Sri Lankan society, I gained useful skills in using canva, video editing and promoting on social media which I believe will come in handy when promoting events. I have also been incharge of procuring sponsors for large events which helped me develop networking and communication skills that I believe will be beneficial for this role.

I am a resilient and hardworking individual, and I know that I will be working with an amazing team thus I can't wait to help improve the future medics with their journey into medicine!
