Elected

Hi, I am Christina, a first year Geography and Economics student at UCL. I strongly resonate with the founding vision of Women in Finance, which was created to address the barriers young women face when entering the financial industry. While progress has been made, the gender gap remains real, and I believe our society plays a vital role in building confidence, clarity and access to opportunity.

If elected, I would focus on expanding awareness and accessibility. Many talented women at UCL are curious about finance but may feel intimidated or unsure where to start. I want to introduce more introductory and beginner friendly sessions that demystify key areas of finance, from investment banking to asset management and fintech, so more women feel informed and empowered to explore these paths.

At the same time, I would ensure that corporate partnerships translate into tangible benefits such as skill based workshops, structured interview preparation and meaningful networking opportunities. I would also introduce small mentoring circles where members can discuss applications, career uncertainty and imposter syndrome in a supportive environment.

My goal is to build a society that balances professional excellence with genuine community, helping more UCL women not only enter finance, but thrive and lead within it.
