Year/Course: Final (6th) Year Medicine

Age: 23

Societies/Clubs/Interests: Planning on rejoining UCD Snowsports this year. I used to be very involved, considered running for a committee post in the past but never did. Then my course got hectic and my funds went south so skiing fell by the wayside. I probably won't know anyone when I rejoin so if anyone on here is an active member say hi please!

Was also a MedSoc class rep (not an SU one) a few years back and was involved with MSVS (Med Students Volunteering Society) for a couple of years, to which I also plan on returning. Will make an appearance at VegSoc stuff this year. Technically in YFG but was never very active and the party has been annoying me lately, so I'll be reconsidering that one this year.

Most recruiting for clubs and socs takes place during Freshers' Week which is the second week of lectures.
