​Candidate Statement Over the course of my two academic years at Bocconi, I’ve had the privilege of holding a managerial role within Aleph as Social Media Manager. This position helped me develop valuable organizational and leadership skills. I was responsible for coordinating with fellow team members, planning content, and ensuring consistent communication. Together with the social media team, we introduced the idea of “briefs”—shorter versions of articles—which provided a more accessible way for students to contribute. We also increased our use of Instagram reels, which significantly boosted engagement with our community. Ahead of the U.S. elections, we utilized polls to further increase traffic to Aleph’s Instagram account. Eventually, I decided to step away from the Social Media Manager role, as I felt I had gained enough experience in that area and wanted to explore new fields and responsibilities within the association. Since February 2024, I have been actively involved with Aleph, contributing both individually and collaboratively. I wrote an independent piece on Georgia’s foreign influence law and co-authored an Eastern Europe focus group article on Russian interference in Georgia and Romania. Additionally, I participated in the podcast series Good Night and Good Luck, developed as part of my “TV and Culture” course and centered on the 2024 U.S. elections. I was part of the Foreign Affairs team, providing updates on U.S. relations with other countries. I also had the opportunity to interview Professor Tito Boeri on U.S. labor policies and his journal ECO. On election night, November 4th, I conducted a live interview with fellow Aleph members as part of our podcast’s broadcast coverage, helping to expand the association’s visibility and engagement. In conclusion, I believe Aleph has immense potential to grow not only as a platform for geopolitical discourse but also as a vibrant, forward-thinking student community. If entrusted with the role of Vice President, I am committed to fostering a more engaging, inclusive, and dynamic environment—one that encourages intellectual debate, high-quality writing, and creative digital expression.
