Election post
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.
