My name is Arafat, and I am a second year Radiography student. I am applying for Social Media Officer. I have been an active member of the ISOC community and thoroughly benefited from this society as it has allowed me to meet like-minded Muslims. My intention is to use my social media expertise and experience in a way that is pleasing to Allah and to strengthen our Muslim community. Being social media officer will enable me to do this through increasing the reach and presence of Leeds ISOC across all social media platforms.

My passion for content creation and editing is evident through creating “Who is Allah/hadith of the week” series on my Instagram account for Islamic reminders. I did this through building a rapport with my audience through storytelling, interactive polls and consistent reminders. I am suitable for this role as I independently created and consistently manage 3 separate public social platforms for 2 years +, accumulating thousands of followers across Instagram and YouTube. From this experience I have gained skills in digital marketing, content creation, photo and video editing which are transferable for my role in creating engaging posts and reminders.

By fulfilling this role, I want to help contribute to a community that is benefiting the Muslim Ummah at university. I hope to be able to create engaging content and maintain consistency on all ISOC platforms. My main goal is to widen the reach of ISOC through social media and to introduce new concepts such as Ramadan guides for students, guides for first-year Muslim students navigating university, creating interactive polls to engage in dawah, and many more. With my compassionate, friendly and warm personality, through social media I hope to promote a welcoming community for Muslims, non-Muslims, reverts and everyone else.

My name is Ruhab and I am currently a 2nd year dental student at Uni of Leeds. I would love to partake in the ISOC admin community by putting myself forward for the Social Media Officer position, which is a role I believe I am well-suited for. Social media is a bridge of communication that connects everyone and thus it is of paramount importance when relaying information effectively.

I have nominated myself as I have experience in running my own public social media page (on Instagram) where I am met with many people enquiring about dentistry and life as a student at Leeds, which I regularly monitor. This is a platform that I have great familiarity with and understand the intricacies and nuances of managing socials which requires excellent verbal and written communication with the team as well as the audience. I am pretty approachable, happy to answer queries and responsible, therefore I can assuredly translate these skills onto this role. By demonstrating a collaborative approach, I believe I can be an asset to the team and look forward to expanding my interpersonal skills within the team and this role InshaAllah which I hope can benefit the wider community.
