  • I am most proud of being where I am today at uni succeeding and stronger than I imagined.
  • Public speaking I have done, speeches at sixth form and for charity I advocate for which I also did a BBC interview for.
  • Discovering my love for writing poetry and realising how I could have a voice to express my experience of mental health and disability and the support I have received for this from friends and family

Experience

I write poetry focused on mental health and disability one of which was published in a young writer's Anthology. I have proofread some websites and I have been avid reader since a child with a passion for learning and now own over 600 books with an aim to get 1000 to officially get a library. I have been volunteering in the children's department of my local library for over 3 years.

Education

I got 7 GCSES from Grade 6-8. I attended sixth form where I got A in Psychology and B in English Literature and History. I now am in second year BA English.
