Entrepreneurs Society: Women in Tech Director

As a Biochemical eng student, I’m applying for this role because I want women to do more than join tech but to lead it, shaping products and standards. I’m standing for this role to turn this belief into outcomes: practical skill-building, clearer pathways, and a supportive culture that makes technical ambition feel achievable. 

My internship at Bodymap has trained me in product judgement—how to build technology people can trust, where I work closely with the Chief Product Officer. Bodymap’s goal is using technology to measure individual bodies and map those measurements into a sizing logic that is more representative than what many brands currently offer. I have learned to think beyond “can we build it?” and focus on “should we build it this way, and how do we justify it to users?”

I am confident leading because I have led teams through competitive work and delivered results. As student leader of an iGEM team that won a Silver Medal, I organized collab, kept progress on track. This experience taught me how to bring people together and translate technical complexity into a clear story. Understanding how intimidating technical space can feel early on, I want this society to be a place where curiosity is welcomed and confidence is built through capability.

If selected, I’ll bring ambition and execution: industry-relevant speaker events, workshops that produce CV-ready outputs (product thinking, data storytelling, ethical design), and a supportive culture for beginners. 

 

Hi, I am Christina, a first year Geography and Economics student at UCL with a strong interest in innovation and the role of technology in shaping the future economy. I am inspired by Entrepreneurs Society’s mission to empower students to build and lead, and I believe Women in Tech plays a vital role in ensuring women are confident participants and leaders in this space.

If elected, I would focus on making technology more accessible and less intimidating for women across all disciplines at UCL. Many students are curious about tech but unsure where to begin. I would introduce beginner friendly sessions that demystify different pathways such as product management, fintech, AI, data and startups, helping members understand what these roles involve and how to prepare.

I would also strengthen mentorship and peer support through small group discussions, female founder spotlights and career conversations that address confidence alongside skills. In addition, I would integrate Women in Tech more closely with the wider Entrepreneurs Society through hackathons, competitions and networking events, ensuring representation is central, not separate.

My goal is to build a supportive and ambitious community where women feel equipped not only to enter tech, but to lead within it.
