International Foodies Society: Head of Culture

Hello guys, I’m Vin and I’m a third year medical student running to be the Head of Culture for International foodies. I believe in the power of a strong, inclusive, and inspiring environment to drive not just success, but fulfillment and connection within our community. Culture is the heartbeat of any group, and it’s what shapes our values, collaboration, and growth. If chosen, I promise to dedicate myself to joining and bringing the diverse cultures to International foodies.

My vision:

  • Ensure we explore as many cultures as possible: From the spicy delights of Southeast Asia to the soul-warming stews of Eastern Europe, every dish tells a story
  • Sustainability and ethical eating: ensuring we do not forget the impact of our food choices on the planet
  • Education as a Tool for Connection: we must learn not just about cooking techniques but also about the deeper cultural contexts behind the dishes we eat

Let’s break bread, share stories, and create a culture of food that transcends borders and builds lasting connections.

The world is a table, and you're all invited.

I would be honoured to be your head of culture.

Bon Appétit,
Vin :)
