2. Are there any additional clubs that you are involved with?

I am the treasurer of my club. My job is to maintain the club's account and make sure we are not spending more amount than we have. Besides that, processing the reimbursements after events.

6. What's the best thing about being a part of a club?

7. How can other students get involved in your club?

Yes, I have made new friends and connections through being in a club.

11. What would you like to get out of being in a club?
Without a doubt, leadership and organising skills. Furthermore, learning and experiencing the various circumstances through networking.

12. If you could start any club what would it be?
