Leqi Song

Hi guys! I'm Leqi and I'm standing as your next Diversity and Inclusion Officer! 

As someone who hardly knew what MedTech society was at the start of the year, I’m so grateful that the events and people that make up this society were as inclusive, welcoming and informative as I found it to be through all the events I attended during the year.

My desire to continue on expanding on the strong foundations that the previous committee has built and to continue making both old and new members feel that MedTech is a safe space where they can try, fail and succeed without judgement has led me to stand for Diversity and Inclusion Officer for this coming year. In this role, I will work diligently with the other members of the committee to ensure that our flagship 'MedTech for all' Conference is marketed and delivered to the highest quality. I also hope to bring in speakers who reflect our diverse community and to pitch the event at a level that is friendly for people at all different stages of building their careers, whether that be a fresher at one of their first events or an experienced member. As First-Year Rep for Biomed this year among other roles I’ve had, I know what it means to be regularly planning and working towards something whether that collecting peer feedback for the next SPC meeting or communicating feedback back to the cohort. 

Overall, I believe that I have the dedication and organisational skills to deliver in this role and I would really appreciate your vote!
