Biography
I graduated with my PhD from UWS IN 2015. My undergraduate degree is in Media and my MsC is in Research Methods....My brains make up for my legs not working! (You can't have everything) My Cerebral Palsy does not define me and is only a small part of who I am. I'm passionate about being part of changing the narrative for disabled people in multiple ways and being part of tv, modelling film and other media campaigns can be a significant part of this. I believe that disability inclusion should be part of our mainstream society.
When I'm not working i enjoy socialising, reading, going to the cinema, listening to music etc
