Aishani Paul

Hello! I'm Aishani, a second year medic very excited to stand for the role of Co-Chair of Nutritank with my friend Sivanky (right).

The old adage 'you are what you eat' is a known fact in the most literal sense (many unending hours of POM biochemistry lectures later) - however I firmly believe this extends further than that: you are what you do. This year my horizons were broadened by my introduction to this diverse society that not only shows its members the crossroads between lifestyle and health, but actively accelerates access to this knowledge through community action.

As Chair, I will strive to:

- Expand our society on all fronts, facilitating coordination across the committee and volunteers while working closely with my team to strengthen overall community spirit.

- Collaborate with other societies to introduce interdisciplinary events and talks.

- Bring back Foodie Fridays (I am always experimenting with new recipes!) as well as myth-busters and updates on the latest advancements in nutritional research.

And much more!

The importance of preventative medicine cannot be overstated, however equally crucial is the empowerment of health professionals to administer these non-material remedies. Several years of volunteering and teaching have taught me the value of these emotionally intelligent disciplines; knowing how to help is useless if you are unable to precipitate the change. Through my leadership, I aim to use my interpersonal and teamworking skills - that I have honed through my decade-long commitment to netball among other pursuits - to advance the frontiers of Imperial Nutritank for good.
