Lianne Ng

From participating in Biology olympiads to reading books on the human body, my enthusiasm for the life sciences is unwavering. This, coupled with my determination to contribute to the scientific community, have culminated in my interest in the Vice President role. 

If elected, I aim to: 

1. Strengthen understanding of career opportunities. Invite representatives from related professions to share experiences and build confidence in students when hunting for future jobs. 
2. Boost enthusiasm for the discipline. Visiting St. Bartholomew’s Hospital museum to explore centuries’ worth of medical artefacts or watching “Resistance Fighters” to realise the dangers of a post-antibiotic era will inspire students to view life sciences with a newfound appreciation. 
3. Cultivate a sense of community. A family scheme where Y1s are children, Y2s are parents and Y3s and above are grandparents allows older students to provide advice and help younger students ease in. 

Furthermore, my past experiences equip me for this role. 

1. As programme director of a school camp, I strengthened communication skills by delegating tasks to a team of 25.
2. As vice president of the student council, I exhibited adaptability by planning creative virtual activities for Teacher’s day despite inflexible Covid restrictions. 
3. As leader of a student-led project, I showed initiative by producing an animated video promoting sustainable tourism. 

I believe my passion, ideas and experiences make me suitable for this role.
