When I came to UCL last year, I was thrilled to see that there was a Women’s health society as this topic has been a passion and pre-occupation of mine for as long as I can remember. It has been wonderful to go to events and be amongst likeminded people, from talks to networking and socials I have already gained many valuable opportunities from being a member. I would love to give back to the society by being part of the committee next year to ensure that events like these and more can keep happening. 

Though I am (for the most part) your usually nerdy scientist in the library most days, when I'm not studying my favourite place to be is at events (femtech related or not) talking to people and forming meaningful connections. 

In a field as broad as women’s health it’s important to bring people together and include everyone in conversations. I hope to help maintain a welcoming community, providing a space for people to learn something new, meet people and share their experiences, by being a friendly face at every get-together and a reliable point of contact for any concerns.
