Diversity, Equality and Inclusivity Rep | Jul 2020 - Jul 2021

My role is to make everyone feel included and represented at all our events, no matter their background. I also help arrange our international events, making sure we offer a diverse set of activities for our whole community. Aside from this, I mostly waste time by watching horror movies and reading murder mysteries. Feel free to contact me with any suggestions or concerns!

Treasurer | Jul 2019 - Jul 2020

As Treasurer, I look after the finances of our society, ensuring every transaction is made by the book. Some would say the computer science building is my second home as people can often find me in the labs at unusual hours.

Vice-President | Jul 2019 - Jul 2020

My job within the committee is to help the society run smoothly, so I do lots of odd jobs, like work on this website. When not on CSS business, I'm taking part in hackathons across the UK, hacking with AFNOM, or spending too much time on assorted projects.
