I worked tirelessly in the build up to and throughout the summer of 2015 (while also being abroad on my internship) to get all the necessary documentation and approvals in place to open up a new society. Bureaucracy sorted, I planned and executed a marketing and recruitment strategy to attract new members and by the end of October ’15, my one-woman band grew to over 20 members strong. With the team in place, we were able to focus on AIESEC’s core offering, i.e. international exchange, and secured over 10 internships and voluntary projects for the students of QMUL for the summer of 2016. While on my year abroad (Sep 2016 — Aug 2017), I acted as an advisor and mentor to the Executive Board of AIESEC Queen Mary as well as to my successor in the President position. Show less

      London, United Kingdom I worked alongside Clifford Chance solicitors on their Pro Bono initiative in a local Legal Advice Centre. During my internship, I was responsible for carrying out the initial interviews with the claimants to determine whether their case would stand in a court of law — I then presented the facts of the case along with my judgement to the solicitor I was paired with, who would determine the most appropriate action. For cases with strong grounding, I conducted a more detailed research and… Show more I worked alongside Clifford Chance solicitors on their Pro Bono initiative in a local Legal Advice Centre.

For cases with strong grounding, I conducted a more detailed research and together with the solicitor we recommended whether the claimant should take legal action or mediate with the defendant outside the court.

      London, United Kingdom Scape is a private student accommodation with numerous sites across London. In my position, I was responsible for both the creative content of the events, and their execution — this entailed coming up with ideas/themes, choosing dates, buying decorations, liaising and negotiating with food and beverage vendors and securing bands/DJs for every event.

In my position, I was responsible for both the creative content of the events, and their execution — this entailed coming up with ideas/themes, choosing dates, buying decorations, liaising and negotiating with food and beverage vendors and securing bands/DJs for every event. Apart from night parties, I have also organised day-time workshops on various topics, e.g. healthy cooking, travelling on a student budget or dealing with stress as a student — these were ran by known social media influencers, bloggers and lifestyle coaches. Together with my manager, we have also secured a wine-tasting event with Majestic Wine, which was very well attended and received. Over a 10-month period, I designed, planned and executed over 30 events across 3 sites (Shoreditch, Mile End and Greenwich). I was also in charge of the marketing strategy. I redesigned the OOH media content and convinced my manager to invest in paid social — this resulted in the most-attended event in the company’s history (300+ attendees) and 50% higher average attendance of all other events in comparison to the previous academic year.

      London, United Kingdom AIESEC is the largest student-led organisation in the world, with roughly 100,000 active members every year and millions of alumni across the globe. Since the organisation wasn’t operating in my university at the time, I applied to the nearest branch in City, University of London and joined the marketing team. I was quickly promoted to a Team Lead position and assumed charge of our online presence.

I was quickly promoted to a Team Lead position and assumed charge of our online presence. I started our Instagram account and grew it to 500+ followers in roughly 3 months and organised events on Facebook throughout the academic year, with dedicated ‘marketing pushes’ in build-up to all events — this strategy resulted in a much higher events attendance in comparison to previous years, as well as a higher number of new applications to join our local branch of the organisation.
