AMSI NATIONAL COMMITTEE 2025-2026
Co-President
Kiran Singh
I am a final-year medical student at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) with a strong passion for global health, cultural exchange, and health equity. Originally from Los Angeles, USA, I hold an MSc in Molecular Medicine (distinction) from TCD and a B.S. in Biology from Loyola Marymount University. I previously worked with the Spanish Ministry of Education as a North American Language and Cultural Assistant, supporting bilingual education in Madrid. At Trinity, I revitalized and lead the Reproductive Justice Society (a chapter of Medical Students for Choice), for two years where I established sustainable systems and championed advocacy for women’s health and reproductive rights, growing it into one of the most active special-interest medical societies on campus. I am also a contributing writer for The PULSE, Trinity’s medical school newspaper, and currently engaged in cervical cancer screening research at The Coombe Hospital. Outside of medicine, I enjoy traveling, exploring new recipes in the kitchen, hiking, Salsa dancing, and West Coast Swing dancing. I am excited to contribute to AMSI’s mission of empowering medical students and strengthening our collective voice for health equity.
Co-President
Kacper Bogalecki
I am a medical student at University College Cork and a Quercus Active Citizenship Scholar, with a longstanding commitment to youth advocacy and student representation. I currently serve as Executive Representative for the College of Medicine and Health in UCC Students’ Union, where I represent nearly 6,000 students across medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, occupational therapy, and public health, contributing to academic policy through the University’s Teaching and Learning Committee and Academic Council. At the European level, I sit on the Board of the Organising Bureau of European School Student Unions (OBESSU) and previously served on its Monitoring Committee, advocating for student voices in governance and policy. In Ireland, I am a Director of SpunOut, the country’s leading youth information and advocacy organisation. I am also an alumnus and Team Leader of the Washington Ireland Program, where I gained experience in healthcare and education policy through an internship in the U.S. House of Representatives. Alongside my advocacy work, I volunteer with the Order of Malta Ambulance Corps and as a Training Officer with UCC Community First Responders, reflecting my strong background in emergency response and healthcare. Passionate about equity, youth participation, and education, I am committed to strengthening the role of medical students in shaping the future of healthcare in Ireland.
Deputy President/Secretary General
Eva Baumann
I’m a third-year medical student at the University of Limerick with a background in podiatry. Before medicine, I worked in private practice diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal injuries of the foot and ankle. I continue to run a small podiatry business alongside my studies, focusing on patient-centred care and community connection. Balancing both has strengthened my appreciation for teamwork, empathy, and accessible healthcare. I’m passionate about volunteering and global health. In rural Tanzania, I provided essential wound care with The Olive Branch for Children, an experience that deepened my commitment to sustainable outreach. At home, I volunteer with Children in Hospital Ireland and NOVAS, supporting vulnerable communities. During my Podiatric Medicine degree, I was elected class representative, developing skills in advocacy, leadership, and communication. Outside of medicine, I love travelling and playing piano—two things that help me find balance and inspiration.
Vice President of External Affairs (VPE)
Sarah Mackel
I’m a second-year Graduate Entry Medicine student at UCD, with a passion for public speaking and advocacy. I graduated with a BSc (Hons) from the University of St Andrews in 2024, where my dissertation focused on sustainably scaling ophthalmology departments in sub-Saharan Africa. Some of my first year in Dublin was spent volunteering with a nonprofit as a content writer, where I got to travel to conferences in Lithuania, Germany, and Latvia following the work of a group preparing a policy paper on AI integration in Latvia’s healthcare system. This gave me the chance to travel to the Latvian parliament and write about the experience, as well as understand European healthcare systems and their regulatory landscapes from up close. I’ve previously also been a youth delegate to the Council of Europe’s Congress of Local and Regional authorities, and am currently a youth delegate to the UNFCCC. As you can guess, I love travelling: outside of Germany, France, and the Baltics, I also spent my summer in Uganda as part of a UCD research project, and am excited to be heading to Brazil this November to represent my home country at the UN’s Conference of Parties (COP30). I’m excited to help build AMSI back up and connect medical students in Ireland with our colleagues all over the world!
Vice President of Internal Affairs
YasI Ahmadi
I’m a Canadian medical student from Vancouver, British Columbia, currently studying at University College Dublin. I’m passionate about global health equity, humanitarian outreach, and fostering communities that value empathy and collaboration. My experiences in philanthropy and student leadership have shown me how consistent, practical action can create meaningful change through advocacy, education, and teamwork. I’m eager to continue developing in these areas by engaging more deeply with academic research and community initiatives that explore how policy and innovation can improve access to care worldwide. Outside of medicine, I enjoy playing the piano, reading, and hiking. I’m excited to contribute to AMSI’s work in connecting students, amplifying new ideas, and helping build a more engaged, globally minded medical community.
