To whom this may concern
I hope that this message finds you well.
As a second-year Cancer Biomedicine undergraduate truly passionate about raising awareness of cancer, I am very eager to spread awareness about cancer beyond its stereotype as a disease to the local community and even beyond.
Having volunteered at the VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer, I understand the need for early diagnosis and improved treatment for patients with cancers. I particularly feel that more focus needs to be on rarer cancer types such as Ewing's Sarcoma, where the low numbers fail to drive clinical trials and obtain representative results. I have a proven track record, connecting with the community since my early teens. As Community Service Director of Interact Club in junior college, I have spearheaded volunteering programmes and engaged with elderly and youths to drive change. As a Transition Mentor in 2024, I have honed the skills of connecting with students and amplify voices that need to be heard.
Having taken Global Marketing Strategy as an elective module, I am well-equipped with skills to engaged with the student body to reach wider target audiences. Combined with my knowledge of cancer from my modules, I believe that this will put me in good stead to work together with the rest of the EXCO to advocate for better cancer care, and turn awareness into action for the future of oncology !
