Wine Appreciation: Head of Socials

Hey wine enthusiasts (and alcoholics🧐)! I’m Qihan, a second-year Physics student running for Head of Socials for Wine Appreciation Society. You might have seen me manning our Society Fair stall, where I approached lots of you and facilitated the scent-guessing challenge 🧈🍓

Back on Valentine’s Eve, I personally witnessed the establishment of Wine Society. Two groups who independently wanted to start Wine Society had a meeting at Stables Bar. I helped bring the two groups together and later spontaneously invited more friends over, turning a meeting into an enjoyable night out 🪩🥳

As a lifestyle photography lover who cared about my Instagram more than university applications, I’d love to make our Instagram more active and aesthetic. My photos on Shutterstock have been downloaded and approved for data licensing, while Fairmont Hotels approached me for permission to use my photos of SKAI Bar. As a 19-year-old, I genuinely have 9 years of experience in social media content creation 🤳. I had my first 2M+ view video when I was 10, featuring the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi. I’d love to bring my signature photography and video-editing style to Wine Society events, creating recognisable content that drives engagement 🤩

Working with the rest of the committee, I want to organise more regular socials and opportunities to learn about wine alongside trying it. I will also reach out to more bars to explore collaborations and introduce members to new venues, especially those new to London 🇬🇧!

Vote Qihan for Head of Socials! 🍷📸
