Our Director tells me that, traditionally, VP Welfare is a post that does “fluffy stuff”. Things to make you feel better, freebies for students, and general virtual group hugs. Well, if you’ve never met me, you probably don’t realise that I am far from traditional in that sense.
I have just completed an HND in Events Management at the college. I am a mature student who had to find a different career path in life after undergoing major brain surgery 8 years ago now. I find my brain condition more of a strength in my armour rather than a hindrance to me, as I do not let it beat me, rather than challenge me.
Much like my sister in crime and the VP Welfare, Skye, I’m Autistic and whilst this is a part of my personality, I by no means let it define me!
First things first, let's just get this out of the way. I'm Autistic, I also have ADHD so I can come across as quite strong sometimes, but I’d like to think I’m a lot of fun! I talk wayyy too much and often go on crazy ramblings, but it’s all part of my charm.
