You may have seen me around campus with Guide Dog Winnie. Winnie is one of the many reasons I am able to feel confident and able enough to study Radio Production. Another reason is how diverse, accepting and accessible City of Glasgow College has been.

I acknowledge however, that things aren't always great.

I know what it's like to be bullied because you're "different", or to be isolated and discriminated against.

If I am able to take on the position of Vice President: Diversity & Wellbeing, I aim to learn more about all of our differences, to promote equality, improve accessibility around the college and raise maximum awareness of disability. I want to improve the student experience for those with disabilities, and bring attention to issues impacting minorites.

I've spent the last 7 years volunteering with disability and LGBTQ+ charities. In this time I have supported and campaigned for; Equal Marriage, Trans Rights, Disability Access Rights, The Pavement Parking Ban and Transport Accessibility Legislation here in Scotland. Currently, I am working to improve Glasgow City Council's "Avenues" project so it can be accessible to all.

I am a strong advocate for equality and a vote for me is a vote of confidence that I will do all I can to ensure every student feels empowered.
