Laura Napitu

Hi everyone! My name is Laura, a current undergraduate biomedical engineering student, and I'm standing to become your diversity and inclusion executive. 

To me, the core of this role is simple: making sure MedTech UCL feels like a society for everyone. Whether you're a medic, an engineer, a computer scientist, or just someone curious about the future of healthcare, you should feel at home here.

Here's what I'd love to work towards:

• Getting involved in events like the MedTech for All conference: which I think captures exactly the right spirit and help make sure they're as open and engaging as possible for the whole UCL community, whatever their background or experience level, and to be as enjoyable for everyone of different backgrounds and capabilities.
•  Reaching out across UCL: connecting with students from all faculties and courses so that our society reflects the full range of people who have something to contribute to medtech. The more diverse our membership, the richer our conversations and ideas.
• Creating spaces where everyone feels welcome: no jargon, no gatekeeping, just a shared enthusiasm for what technology can do for healthcare. I want new members to walk into their first event and immediately feel like they belong.

Medtech is a field that affects everyone, so the people shaping it should come from everywhere. I'd love to help make that a reality within our society.
