I live beside the sea with my dog Olive in Scotland and I’m the first person in my family to have gone to university. I’m a research associate with Changing Realities leading on expanding the project in Scotland. I feel really proud to support parents and carers in advocating for change and everything we have achieved. I especially love working alongside Jean to facilitate creative journaling sessions. I really appreciate the opportunity to slow down and reflect. I'm also on the advisory board for the independent review into Adult Disability Payments in Scotland.
