Hi, I’m Edna Adu, and I’m the Secretary for Students for Global Health.

In this role, I keep the national committee organised and make sure everything runs smoothly. That means scheduling meetings, taking notes, sharing minutes, handling internal communications, and making sure everyone stays accountable. I also help manage our documents and support the governance side of things to keep us on track.

The Secretary might work mostly behind the scenes, but as all roles are it is really important role — I make sure communication flows well and decisions are clearly recorded and followed up on. This helps the team work together effectively and stay focused on our shared goal of improving global health.

One of the things I really like about this role is that it’s flexible and can be tailored to suit what you want to get involved in. If there are other projects or campaigns going on that you’re passionate about, you can jump in and contribute. That fluidity is what makes it so rewarding for me.

I was excited to take on this role because I love bringing structure and clarity to teamwork. Over the years, I’ve built strong organisational and communication skills through my studies and extracurriculars, and I wanted to put those to good use supporting something I’m passionate about — making global health more equitable and inclusive.

This year, I’m really looking forward to building strong relationships with the rest of the committee, supporting our campaigns and advocacy work, and helping the organisation stay coordinated and impactful.
