Entrepreneurs Society: Women in Tech Executive

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 everyone, I am Tina and I am applying to be your next Women in Tech Executive. I wish to continue to build a community where every woman interested in tech feels seen, supported and ready to lead. The reality being ‘what if’ into ‘watch me’.

No boring panels or last minute chaos, I am eager to continue to push further with designing events that focus on hands-on skill workshops and fireside chats with cool founders and industry legends - allowing for both technical and professional growth. 'Mentor-Match Mixer' is something I really want to implement into the society, allowing for pairing of students with long-term mentors and more speed-networking opportunities. I believe my previous experience in event planning and collaboration in being the founder and executive of a high in popularity chemistry society allows me to be able to coordinate complex projects like this.

Above all, my goal is to make the events in this division as innovative and inclusive as possible. Feel free to reach out! You will most likely find me on the mezzanine floor of science library or send me a message on Instagram (@1t1na1).

I'm standing because I think entrepreneurship and innovation in tech needs to happen in communities like ours, not just in corporate spaces.

I'm a Biomedical Engineering student, and I'm working on my own startup right now. When I started, I realized that the people who actually do things are just the ones who try. I reached out to professors about research gaps, applied for opportunities, and got a research internship at Stanford. It was not magic, it was just not being afraid to ask.

What I want to do is help other people in our society feel like they can do that too. I want to organize events where we actually hear from people building real things—founders, researchers, people who've taken risks. Not just networking for the sake of it.

More than anything, I want to build a culture where people feel like it's possible to pursue their ideas. Where they have connections, where they see others doing ambitious things, and where it does not feel impossible to try.

I think our society could be a place where people actually support each other in building things. That's what I want to create.

As a co-lead for my course's TIDEM SAC (Technology, Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship, Marketing), I’ve spent the year at the intersection of tech and business. I’m standing for this role because I want to bridge the gap between inspiration and action by creating a space where women don’t just learn about tech, but gain the confidence to thrive within this area.

My experience is rooted in high-pressure innovation. This year, I won two UCL pitching competitions: the Entrepreneur Society’s Reverse Shark Tank and a Women’s Health FemTech challenge. These experiences taught me how to solve complex problems rapidly and pitch strategic solutions under pressure. More importantly, they showed me the power of interdisciplinary collaboration: working with everyone from engineers to philosophers to turn an idea into a winning reality.

Next year, I am specialising in the Technology route of my degree, and I want to bring that academic focus into our society’s events. If elected, I will focus on empowering innovation through "Rapid Pitch" workshops and FemTech-focused hackathons that help women build confidence and public speaking skills. I aim to curate strategic networking events with industry leaders across diverse career paths, while ensuring our community remains inclusive and accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical background.
