As Gender Equality Officer, I would aim to create a supportive study and social environment where everyone feels safe and represented irrespective of how they identify. A sense of community is essential in maintaining a supportive network that values diversity, a place where those underrepresented in science can feel heard and seen.

As someone who believes in fairness for all genders in science, I am dedicated to creating an environment where everyone can contribute their skills and ideas. Gender equality isn't just about being fair; it's also crucial for making progress in science. In a world that values diversity, we can't ignore the fact that women are often underrepresented in science. By promoting gender equality, we make sure everyone can participate fully, bringing their unique perspectives and talents to the table. This isn't just about being fair—it's about making the most of what everyone has to offer and ensuring that our scientific work reflects all.

Together we can create a community that lifts each other and normalises challenges often associated with the academic community. I would like to use the platform to inspire both those in our community and future scientists to pursue their interests and strengths.
