Currently in my second year as a distance learner. During my years at Dundee University (Philosophy MA (Hons) and Abertay University (Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Counselling). I was elected as Class Representative, I played an important role enabling communication between the student body, the academic staff, and promoting constructive change and improvements to learning and teaching at the University of Dundee and Abertay University. The role involved encouraging student input regarding any issues that affected their programme and required me to be a good listener, caring and compassionate. I will represent your academic interests by collecting your feedback and presenting your opinions to academic staff and make sure your voice is being heard in the decision that will impact you.  I will represent the student’s views, your opinion matters. "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new." Socrates.
