Meet the team!
Auditor Semester 1Harry Economos
Harry is the co-supreme fearless leader of the society - or spelt phonetically,
"Aw-dit-er". "We set goals and make sure they're achieved by any means necessary. Duties include overseeing the society in general, shouting, failing to keep corruption to a minimum, telling everyone we meet that we're Auditors of Medsoc and being condescending . However most of our time goes towards making sure Caolan our mischievious PRO doesn't get up to too much trouble." Harry's life motto is “Life isn't fair” and method of governance is inspired by the book 1984 by George Orwell. Outside of medicine he is passionate about holding hands, long walks on beaches, being emotionally available to you, crying single manly tears and Gigi Hadid. |
Auditor Semester 2Alison Duffy
Alison is the auditor for semester 2. Her role is to co-ordinate, oversee and primarily lead our Medical Society. She is responsible for ensuring that the committee is implementing our societies vision and also achieving new objectives in Semester 2.
Alison is a native of Ballinasloe, the city that always sleeps. She has previous committee experience with NUIG's Dansoc, and hopes to use her expertise to make 2015/16 a truly great year for Medsoc. Outside of Medicine Alison is passionate about Snapchat and Dancing. |
SecretaryChristine Condon
Christine’s role as secretary is to keep our members informed regularly by email on the going ons of the society. She also books rooms for any events/meetings, takes notes at committee meetings, and keeps an eye on the emails.
A Corkonian with a green thumb, Christine is passionate about travel, trying new foods, finding good books and music. One song on the soundtrack to her life would be Send Me On My Way by Rusted Root. If Christine could be any fictional character it would be Hermione Granger. |
Treasurer Sem 1
Conor Keady
Conor is this year’s treasurer for semester 1. As treasurer it is his responsibility to manage the accounts, decide who gets what and to be the third best Conor on the Medsoc committee. Outside of medicine, Conor's interests lie in being better and smarter than everyone else (yes, even you). Don't hold that against him though, his mad brainz mean that our books will be cooked to perfection throughout the year,

Treasurer Sem 2
Mary C Byrne
Mary 'Checks' Byrne is the treasurer for semester 2. Her role is to track down and manage the committees treasure. Think Pirates of the Caribbean but more exciting. Mary is an avid traditional musician and looks forward to making sure there is at least 70% Irish music played at every single Medsoc event.

Entertainment Officer
Amy Rolston
Our Ent’s Officer this year is the lovely Amy, her role as Entertainment officer is to be the overall fun-provider and to bring you fun and entertaining events. She is the main co-ordinator of big events such as Medball, Masquerade Ball as well as smaller ongoing nights like wine and cheese, pizza and movie nights, guest speaker nights and talks and many more!
Amy would’ve loved to have been a vet, she loves animals but is allergic to them! Her life motto is “No Ragrets” and she is most looking forward to launching some new ideas that will hopefully become annual events in the medsoc calendar, and generally taking over the world one event at a time. Her dream would be to be the 8th member of S Club 7, but if they weren’t willing to change their name she would like to be a mermaid. |

He's responsible for informing our members of our associated charities and to keep a working relationship with medically orientated charitable societies such as MSF, VSA, Sláinte Soc etc. His life motto is "just keep swimming" and the soundtrack to his life would include the Scrubs soundtrack

Sports Officer
Dara Jones
Dara is this year’s Sport’s Officer. An imposing figure from Roscommon, Dara is the proud owner of 14 Roscommon county hurling medals, which is apparently the equivalent of half a Galway hurling medal. His role is organising events of a sporty nature, and impressing the younger meds with his awesome ball handling skills. One song on the soundtrack to his life would be Africa by Toto.

Conor Murphy
Conor is our Newsletter editor, keeping you updated with all the happenings of Medsoc. Upcoming events, interesting articles, you name it, you’ll see it in our newsletter!

Jenny is an OCM on this year’s Medsoc Committee. She says the title says it all! She is an ordinary Joe Soap with no particular aspirations but plenty of enthusiasm, She helps everyone with whatever they need help with. She is everything, yet she is nothing.

Ordinary Committee MemberDiarmaid Joyce
Diarmaid is an OCM, his role involves helping the real committee members where needed (so basically avoiding as much work as possible). If Diarmaid could go anywhere in the world he would go back to Yosemite NP in California because it’s klass. If Diarmaid wasn’t well on his way to being a doctor he would likely be a Pharmacist.
