Hey Women in Engineering! I am Janeeta, the ballerina who studies computers.

Fun fact before anything else - I recently won First Place in the UK’s largest Women in Computer Science student conference for an Arduino-based invention: an electronic bracelet for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, inspired by my little sister who has the syndrome.



Why am I a good fit for president?

In my first year of University alone, I have been involved in over 11 different societies. Besides reflecting my adaptability as a social butterfly, this means I have strong links with everyone on campus thus help with WiE promotion and collab events with other societies.

Leading a team is second nature to me. Throughout school, I would alternate among class officer roles of president, vice president, secretary, prefect, and monitor every year. I was head secretary in the student council.

I am a regular attendee of WiE events, from the monthly cafes, Black Sheep Coffee study sessions, movie nights, to workshops. I would be surprised if you have never seen my face.

Peers describe me as outgoing, intelligent, and having superb time management - how else am I doing ballet, debate, hikes, pilates, and a lot more on top of thriving in my social life and studying one of the heaviest degrees?

I have a strong professional engineering network. Before winning the Women in CS conference, I did a Tech internship at HSBC and was a delegate for a national aerospace conference held in London.



My ideas for Women in Engineering:
1. Adding remote activities so that engineers with less time on their hands can still feel part of the WiE community (e.g. online games and social platforms!)
2. Collaborative projects with each other to build our portfolios!
3. Out-of-the-box, active socials: think a pilates class, hike, or girls day out
4. Continue career-related workshops and invite figures in industry
5. Be a friendly and familiar face for society members
6. Support everyone else on committee; be a glue for everyone!

Hi! My name is Rifal and I am a second year Civil Engineering student. I have been with the Women in Engineering society since its formation and would love to see it continue to thrive!
I think I would be a great fit for this role as I am a passionate and creative person with a goal to support and create space for women and non-binary people in Engineering. I joined the society in 2024 and worked as its Events Manager, where I organised many events and workshops. I then became its Secretary, where I helped with organising meetings and admin, among many other responsibilities. I therefore have a lot of experience with managing the society.
I would love to continue to support the society. If I am elected, I would focus on:

- Expanding our outreach and organising more networking events.
- Securing more funding and support opportunities for the society.
- Collaborating with other societies for fun socials and skill focused workshops.
- Allowing our members to be more involved and creating a welcoming space for everyone 3
