I first qualified as a Social Worker and worked with profoundly deaf and hearing impaired adults, becoming proficient in British Sign Language. I have held the post of Disability Adviser, at three Universities, as well a role as Equality and Diversity Adviser, developing and implementing guidance and policies on Equality and Diversity. I have been a volunteer adviser and support worker at the Terrence Higgins Trust Cymru and Bipolar UK, where I became interested in the area of student mental health in higher education. A topic I explored and published on for my MSc. I am also co-author of a paper on implementing reasonable adjustments in medical education for disabled students. I am an accredited practitioner with the Universities Mental Health Advisers Network and a senior accredited member of the National Association of Disability Practitioners.

I have been living in Cambridge for 10 years and I love its inclusiveness and multicultural community. I have been part of the University of Cambridge for the past 5 years, covering different roles across several departments. Working as part of the Accessibility and Disability Resource Centre makes me feel happy and grateful for contributing to the support of our students, brilliant minds who might change the world with their ideas. My empathy, joviality and willingness to do well, push me to offer the best support to the ADRC Team, our students and all the parties involved in the service.
