Personal statement
Widening Access
I have worked within the Widening Access team at Strathclyde University since 2016 as a mentor. I now hold the position of Widening Access Outreach Coordinator, with a responsibility for project managing FOCUS West events delivered to S3 and S4 pupils across the West of Scotland.
I am excited about my new role and further developing my practice in Widening Access.
My Background
I have a background in acting and performing, studying at West College and gaining a BA in Acting at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. My acting experience naturally lead to teaching and workshop leading, progressing to lecturing at West College. I have a strong passion for working with students so working as a Mentor with the Widening Access department has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. In addition to mentoring on FOCUS West projects I have also been involved in Strathclyde Summer Experience and the 7Up P7-S1 event.
