Sophia Fung

Hi all, I’m Sophia Fung, a year 2 biomedical student who has attended lots of MedTech events over last year and ghas ained a lot from it, such as accessing different opportunities, skillset development and expanding my network. I understood how undergraduate students do worry about picking future career pathway and step a foot into their field of interest as soon as possible. The mentorship program is a very good opportunity that serves this purpose. 

My aim if elected: 

• Expand the range of mentor connections and opportunities  As I have got a work experience by speaking to a researcher at Francis Crick institute, it helped me to gain confidence and good communication skills when engaging with professionals. 
• Create a clearer mentorship guideline to encourage mentors and mentees building a high quality and long-term connection.
• Arrange more skillset developing session such as LinkedIn profile building workshop, so that members can have a develop a better use of LinkedIn and gain connections
• Having a high popularity with the mentorship program, not everyone can match with a mentor, therefore I’ll try to introduce a networking session where non-mentees also have a chance to connect with mentors. 

Being an academic representative and a society’s treasurer, I posess good communication skills, leadership and event organization, which makes me a good fit with this role.
