Yumi Tye

Hi everyone! I’m Yumi, a first year Biomedical Sciences student eager to help make the MedTech society an even more welcoming place. 

After attending my first panel, I remember being in awe but also feeling slightly overwhelmed by the level of expertise displayed before me. Internships, start-ups and the like felt far out of reach. As welfare officer, I aim to help students feeling a similar way settle into the society, whether that be first-year students, new society members, or current society members. 

I plan to focus on:

• Including more social events allowing students to connect with each other more outside a business setting (e.g. through pub quizzes and coffee mornings)
• Including more workshops focused on early career development to make our talks less intimidating
• Recruiting new members and being a someone that existing members can come to with any ideas, questions or concerns

My experience working with neurodivergent trainees and shadowing across multiple hospitals has taught me to be a friendly and proactive listener who will make sure that your voice reaches the MedTech committee. Having been a leader of two clubs, I am someone who prioritizes the opinions of my teammates and the wellbeing of club members. I hope to bring this attitude and my skills to good use within the MedTech society and I’d love your support in making that happen. 

Let's make the next year even more memorable!
