Based in Stornoway, I have been a Local Coordinator in Stornoway since August 2022 for North, West and Hebrides, and UHI Outer Hebrides prior to its mergers with UHI North Highland, and UHI West Highland.
Before stepping into this role, I spent several years working in retail and studying hairdressing at the Stornoway campus. During this time I developed valuable skills, along with a first hand experience of studying at the college that now helps me connect with students and support them effectively in my role.
I am deeply passionate about student representation and ensuring that every students' voice is heard. Working closely with our Student Voice Reps, I do what I can to make sure their feedback is valued and acted upon by our academic partner. Building strong relationships and creating an open, supportive environment where students feel empowered to share their experiences is at the heart of what I do.
Outside of work, I fully embrace my inner nerd. Whether it's diving into the world of Tolkien, playing Dungeons & Dragons, or debating the finer points of Star Wars lore.
