Ecem Arpaci

Hi everyone, I’m Ecem, and I’m really eager to be one of your Academic Representatives this year! While getting to know you through lectures and late-night library sessions, I’m continuously inspired by your dedication and passions in and outside of Biochemistry. I’m Turkish-American but grew up in the Netherlands, and I can bring a multicultural perspective to our representative network. I gained valuable leadership experience through running Opera Society last year, and I'm eager to bring my skills to this role. I aim to provide:

💬 Regular, open communication with all representatives. Due to our many modules, teamwork is fundamental to this position. I aim to collate feedback from module representatives for sharing with departmental representatives and staff, ensuring your concerns are raised promptly. I encourage feedback on what can be improved and aim to promote transparency in the leadership team.

🧪 Increased collaboration with the Biochemical Society. As a Student Representative of the Society, I will frequently share internship, funding, and training opportunities through our communication channels to help everyone explore their interests within life sciences and prepare for life after university.

🫂 Availability for support. I’m always available to talk about personal or academic concerns, or just for some coffee and a chat. I will always listen and highlight relevant departmental and college resources to keep building a supportive community.

Thank you for reading, and I hope to help make your voices heard in our final year at Imperial!
