About the Author

My name is Meera Puthukkudy and I am a current sophomore at UCF where I am majoring in Psychology and minoring in Cognitive Sciences.

I would like to express gratitude to my fellow elected Girl Up – UCF members this year for helping me coordinate events and invaluable guidance throughout this semester.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

As the Events Director for Girl Up UCF, I was responsible for planning and executing events that promoted the mission of Girl Up, an organization dedicated to empowering girls and advocating for gender equality. My role involved collaborating with other members to brainstorm event ideas, organizing logistics, and coordinating outreach to attract participants and foster a supportive community. Key activities included planning workshops, informational sessions, and fundraising events that engaged and educated our members on global issues impacting girls and women.

One of the main things I learned in this role was the importance of effective communication. Organizing events required clear and consistent communication with team members, external partners, and participants, ensuring that everyone was on the same page and that events ran smoothly.
