Biochemistry (UG): Year One Wellbeing Representative

We culture cells, not stress.

Hi everyone! I’m Lynetta, and I’m running to be your Year 1 Biochemistry Wellbeing Rep :)

I want to make sure that amidst all the academic talks, we have spaces to breathe, connect, and actually enjoy the experience. We learn together, and grow together.

🌍 A bit about me

I grew up in China, the US, and Ireland, so being open-minded and bringing people from different backgrounds together is something I really value. I’d love to help create a community where everyone feels supported and comfortable being themselves.

✨ My plans:

🫖 Active Listening

I’ll hold weekly drop-ins. There's no agenda, just a safe, welcoming space to chat, vent, or take a breather over tea and snacks. I’ll also run short anonymous check-ins every two weeks and share updates on what’s been raised, so you’ll actually see your feedback making change happen.

🌿 Social Events

We’ve started strong with the treasure hunt and pub quiz, and I want to keep the energy going! I’ll work with Biochem Soc to host low-pressure socials with free food and drinks. Things like Biochem Mixers, board game & bubble tea nights, and coffee meetups in Hyde Park to build friendships across and over the years.

💡Pushing For Change

Advocating for more available lecture halls to refresh our minds with more constant change of scenery between lectures, improved common room facilities, even a noticeboard or shared space to celebrate birthdays, milestones, and achievements outside of academics. You name it.
