Biochemistry: President

I am a first-year student, eager to begin the new year and hopefully be your President of BiochemSoc!

My goals:

Assistance:

  • Work with Imperial’s staff to provide students more biochemistry-oriented information on where our degree can take us. Help take off some stress off our shoulders about the future.
  • Organize short, routinely workshops where first-year students can come ask any questions to upperclassmen.

Collaboration:

  • I would work hard to encourage biochemists of all year groups to engage with each other and help each other.
  • Take advantage of our university’s academics so that they could get involved in our society’s events. I plan on organizing talks that the members find interesting and hopefully learn without pressure.

Empowerment:

  • As a first-year student, I benefitted from having biochem-parents. I want to continue this program to help incoming students settle into university.

Why me?

  • I think that I would be able to easily adapt to my new role as President; quickly pick up and learn how to be the most effective and cooperative leader I can be.
  • I am an easy person to talk to; open to committee/society members approaching me to share any concerns and/or innovative ideas!
  • I have strong leadership and organizational skills that I have developed throughout my time in school. I organized weekly visits to a children’s refuge back home for the past two years.

I want to unite the society, be a source of support and fun to make the most out of your time at Imperial :))
