Election post
Hi everyone! My name is Anisha, and I’m a first-year Biomedical Sciences student running for President of the UCL Biopharmaceutical Society. My goal is to make this society the ultimate hub for career development, networking, and building lifelong friendships within the biopharmaceutical industry.
Having benefited immensely from the society’s mentorship and events in my first year, I’m passionate about giving back and ensuring every member has the same opportunities to grow academically, professionally, and socially.
If elected, I will:
Expand Career Opportunities: Organise weekly networking events, CV workshops, and internship application sessions. Also, arrange lab visits and office tours at leading Pharma companies.
Create Academic & Social Balance: Host regular socials, panel discussions, and skill-building workshops to build a strong community.
Practical Skill Workshops: Develop lab skills, data analysis, and scientific writing workshops to help members excel in interviews and beyond.
With experience in leadership, event coordination, and community building—having led a non-profit for 4 years with a team of over 200 people and organised multiple large-scale events (with my largest involving over 600 people!)—I’m confident in my ability to deliver impactful initiatives and foster a strong, inclusive community.
Let’s make this year unforgettable. Vote for Anisha as YOUR President, because she’s here to help you (bio)FARM(a) those opportunities!
