Hey guys, I'm Vanessa Zhang, a 2nd year Materials student and I am running for Events officer this year. I am from China but I have been in the UK for the past 8 years, did my GCSEs and A-Levels here as well. Being in the UK long enough also means I have a weird merge of both cultures, I love sports like rounders and also music like Kpop and Cpop.
I didn't run for MatSoc last year because I wanted to try out the all different kinds of activities MatSoc presented. I really enjoyed New Year's Dinner, Chinese Calligraphy and fresher's rounders which really prompted me into thinking of joining the Committee this year.
I’m running for Event Officer because I genuinely enjoy planning activities for a large number of people (my friends would approve of this sentence). I have organised birthday celebrations, go-carting and day trips like, to Brighton, for my friends. I like trying to fit in everyone’s requests and coming up with the best possible events that everyone would enjoy. I also really enjoy working with people in MatSoc - everyone is so kind and supportive - and that’s exactly why I want to help out the MatSoc committee this year.
Thanks for reading everyone !
