CANDIDATES FOR SECRETARY

Lauren Copta (1st Preference)
Hi, I’m Lauren Copta, a current third-year law/art (psychology) student applying for the role of Secretary. I believe I would be best suited for this role as I am a very organised and detail-oriented individual, which is best suited for organising and keeping the team accountable for future events within the society. I have developed my communication skills greatly since joining the NDSLS and participating in uni events, from joining and hosting competitions to attending networking events with peers. I have also enjoyed helping run competitions and communicating with students, alumni and judges alike as we organise these events for our students. I’ve greatly enjoyed my time being part of a wider community and would love to contribute my time and skills to support the development of the society. I believe being a secretary is a great way to challenge myself further as I help with planning events for our students to enjoy their university experience!

Emma Kirby (2nd Preference )
My name is Emma, and I am excited to apply for the position of Treasurer within the Society. With a strong passion for organization and my commitment so far to the society as second year representative, I believe I can contribute to the efficiency and smooth running of the Society. In my role as a Senior Sales Assistant at my current job, I am entrusted with the responsibility of opening and closing the store, managing daily operations, and overseeing financial transactions. This role requires a high level of trust and attention to detail, as well as the ability to manage time efficiently and maintain clear communication with the team. I believe that I can bring these skills to the Society within a role of Treasurer or Secretary where I can contribute my strong organisational abilities and commitment. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to the Notre Dame Sydney Law Society and am committed to ensuring that its operations run smoothly, whether through efficient administration or supporting successful events. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the Society’s ongoing success.

Jana Alarca (1st Preference)
Hi Sydney Law Students! My name is Jana and I’m excited to run for Treasurer or Communications & Marketing Director for the 20256 NDSLS.
Throughout my time at university, I’ve had the privilege of being involved in various roles, from Sponsorship Assistant Director to IT Director in the NDSLS, and Law Representative to Admin Assistant in the Student Association (SAUNDA). These roles have given me a deep understanding of how funding works along with experience managing administrative tasks, designing social media content and professional documents, and liaising with stakeholders – from students to staff to firms.
I’m passionate about creating opportunities and enhancing the university experience of our law students. If elected Treasurer, I would focus on increasing funding for events and lowering law ball ticket prices, ensuring that every student can experience the social side of law school. As Communications Director, I’d love to bring Sydney Law merchandise to life to boost school spirit and bring us in line with our Fremantle counterparts.
I’m eager to hit the ground running and maximise my contribution to our law school community and would be honoured to serve in either capacity. Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to what we can achieve together!
