MedTech Society: Diversity & Inclusion in MedTech Executive

Hello, my name is Meher, I am currently a second-year student studying Medical Innovation and Enterprise and am running for the role of Diversity and Inclusion Executive. Engaging with incredible innovators in past MedTech conferences inspired me to contribute and leverage my skills and interests to create an impactful experience for other like-minded individuals! 

Through my active internship at a FemTech startup, I have seen firsthand how female health issues can be underrepresented and therefore overlooked in medical research and innovation. This experience has reinforced my belief that healthcare is not about fairness but about developing solutions that benefit everyone, regardless of background, gender, or identity. Beyond my academic and professional experiences, I have actively advocated inclusivity, delivering speeches on embracing individuality, including why success should not come at the cost of femininity. 

My experience in organisation and leadership through being appointed the head of my school’s Entertainments Committee will ensure the delivery of high quality and professional events.

I am excited to contribute to a society that brings people together who are just as excited about healthcare innovation as I am. If elected, I would make sure to deliver an interactive conference with hands-on workshops and the ability to learn and network with both industry leaders and innovative startups. Thank you for your consideration!

Hey everyone! I’m Calista. I study pharmacology, and I’m thrilled to be running for Diversity & Inclusion in MedTech Executive this year!

I believe that MedTech is an innovative, dynamic, and forward-thinking society that plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between the biomedical sciences and a rapidly evolving field of emerging technologies. As Diversity & Inclusion in MedTech Executive, I am eager to build on these efforts by organizing insightful conferences, networking events, and hands-on workshops that will make knowledge about these technologies more accessible, engaging, and inclusive for our diverse student body.

As Senior Editor for my high school’s newspaper, I’ve developed a strong set of organizational and leadership skills, as well as a collaborative, solution-oriented mindset that will help me thrive in this role. Combined with my passion for medical innovation and technologies, I believe that I am well-equipped to make a meaningful and worthwhile contribution to this society.

Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to the opportunity to work alongside all of you next year!

Hi I’m Naomi and I’m a first year Biomedical Science student with a keen interest in immunology and biochemistry. I’m excited to be running for MedTech Diversity & Inclusion Executive this upcoming year! As someone with a passion for the sciences, I recognise the importance of making scientific knowledge and innovations accessible to all.

During high school, I served as executive of the Media Team, where I organized workshops and events for students. This role helped me hone my organizational skills, ability to collaborate effectively, and the capacity for creating educational, engaging events.

UCL is known for its diverse student body, and I believe that MedTech should reflect the same inclusivity. As a MedTech Diversity & Inclusion Executive, I will ensure that the conference represents a wide range of voices and perspectives, so a diverse and impactful conversation can be encouraged.

I am excited to be able to be part of a team that is passionate about creating a space where ideas can be explored. With your support, I’ll work to ensure that MedTech is inclusive and engaging, leaving a lasting impact on everyone involved.
