Chris Cundy

80,000 Hours: Cambridge
President
Cambridge, UK

I am in charge of an amazing group of people who organise the student society 80,000 Hours: Cambridge. We put on talks, social events and facilitate workshops to help students use evidence to work out how to use their careers to change the world for the better.

I am also studying Computer Science at Cambridge University. I'm unsure about what to do long-term, but am interested in exciting opportunities to build career capital.
