\u201cI feel that Imperial\u2019s willingness to support new initiatives is something I have benefited\u00a0from, especially as this year I was able to start up a new Rap Society.\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

During my time at Imperial, I’ve been involved in a few different extracurricular activities. In my first year, I developed an interest in under-representation in certain spaces, and decided to run for the position of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Officer<\/a>. I also took up a\u00a0role in the\u00a0College’s Race Equality Charter<\/a> Self-Assessment Team, as well as becoming the Vice President (VP) of Diversity within the Investment Society<\/a>, which was a new role at the time.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed the VP of Diversity role as I felt the different challenges in creating initiatives helped me to become a better problem solver and leader. It was a great experience to see some of the initiatives flourish and impact students. I enjoyed being part of the Investment Society last year so much that I decided to run for President within the society in the elections, and won!<\/p>\n

I like studying at Imperial because the College provides students with a platform to explore their various interests, be that academic or extracurricular. I feel that Imperial\u2019s willingness to support new initiatives is something I have benefited from, especially as this year I was able to start up a new Rap Society.<\/a><\/p>\n

Recently, a picture of me went viral<\/a>. I was standing outside London\u2019s train stations with a sign telling busy passers-by that I was seeking work experience in asset management. A lot of people took photos of me, however, one of the first people who stopped to take a picture of me\u00a0was an Imperial alum. It was their post that went viral on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n

I often find that people describe me as being entrepreneurial, but this doesn’t necessarily mean I want to have my own business. After graduation, I want to take my entrepreneurial spirit to a large organisation and make an impact there while building up my skills. In the future, I would like to\u00a0work in the fast-growing\u00a0ed-tech sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
