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!
