Although my primary interest is in Welfare I would also be very happy to assist the president with any tasks they may need as secretary.

About me!
- Hiiiii I'm Jess!! I’m a 1st year English and Comparative literature Student
- Co-directed ‘NOTHING’
- Performed in ‘Sour Milk’ for New Writes Project
- Attended writing and stage combat workshops over the past two terms

Why committee?
- Since coming to Uni in September, the place that has provided me with the best creative and social experiences has been TG.
- I know this society wouldn’t run without the team of Committee members and I would love to inspire newcomers to the society in the same way I have been over the past two terms.

Why I would make a good Secretary
- I thrive most when working with others, socially, creatively, and organisationally
- Having a fairly young student in this position would hopefully allow for Freshers to the society to feel all the more comfortable with getting involved in any socials/productions
- I’d love to be the go-to person for any questions from any members, old and new, to make the society feel as warm and welcoming as possible!

Aims for TG 2022/23!
- Upping advertisement of freshers-focused opportunities, both social and creative
Collab with other performance societies, OT, LUUSMS etc. for theatre trips/socials – introducing the tradition of a massive monthly social// utilitising Leeds Playhouse!!
- Making more of Welfare Wednesdays, having a space for coffee/tea/check-ins/NT On Demand viewings for whoever is interested

Ultimately I want to make 2022/23 TG’s best year yet!!!! :)

BEING A PART OF COMMITTEE
With secretary being a part of exec, secretary needs to be a big part of the TG team.
- I have been Vice President on Open Theatre committee this year which I have loved. The requirements of the role are very similar to to TG’s secretary. I had a close relationship with the President of OT and learnt a lot about how to run a society and how to support the President and effectively work as a team
- I know how to listen to the rest of committee’s worries and ideas to make sure all voices are heard

ORGANISATION
Organisation is essential arguably the most essential trait for a Secretary.
- I’m running LS6 Theatre for OT’s Fringe right now so I am very aware of how to organise bookings, keep up to date on emails and work through society issues as that’s what I’ve had to do with organising Fringe

SUPPORTING TG
- I loved being a part of the new writes program this semester and would be keen to make sure it keeps going in some form next year. I will be doing a script writing masters and did a creative writing A Level so I have some ideas on how to keep the program going and to constructively work on people’s new writing, and make sure we make the festival even better next year
