Expertise

I have a bit of expertise all over the place, I have a huge passion for Scottish history and politics.

  • During my studies, alongside part-time work I have been prioritising volunteering regularly. It is so important to me to give back to my community as much as I can. So far I have accrued over 70 hours of volunteering hours, earning me a silver SRC award!
  • I have completed the Mark Scott Leadership For Life Award, that is an achievement for me mostly as I hate the outdoors and had to hike and camp in the middle of nowhere. I am impressed with the fact I even finished it.
  • I completed training to become a student listener, it is so important to me that on campus my fellow students have safe spaces to share their feelings.

Experience

I have had minimal experience in writing articles, mostly academic writings. I look forward to writing more articles for the Tab to continue to improve.

Education

I went to Clydebank High School from 2017-2023 where I received 6 Highers and one advanced Higher. I then accepted an offer at the University of Glasgow in 2024 and I have Just finished my third year studying the LLB Scots Law/History at the University of Glasgow. I hope to graduate in 2027!
