Who am I?
- About Meg
What was your experience of Further/Higher education like?聽
My university experience was both amazing and nerve-racking. I grew up in a small village so at first everything felt huge and overwhelming. However, I was placed in halls with some of the most wonderful, interesting, and funny people I have ever met. We became firm friends and they made the late nights and the hours in the library fly by. I loved getting to know people I would have never met otherwise. Listening to their ideas and being challenged by their opinions allowed me to flourish and grow.
What do you like most about your work as a Student Adviser?
As a Student Adviser, the best part of the job is speaking to and supporting students. (I know it sounds cheesy, but it is!). This could be through celebrating their achievements alongside them or helping them to overcome a challenge that felt insurmountable. I often tell my students that University is a marathon, not a sprint. Therefore, it is a gift to be allowed to share that journey with them.聽
What's a surprising or interesting fact about yourself?
I started an annual LGBTQ+ Pride Parade at a previous college.聽
I created a college-wide event where students from each department decorated a vehicle to participate in a pride parade. For example: one year featured a fleet of tractors flying pride flags with students in rainbow cowboy hats dancing and blasting Cher from the trailers. Another had buggies overflowing with brightly coloured flowers students had grown for the occasion. One memorably featured a life-size rainbow unicorn 鈥� a personal favourite! It was a fantastic display of creativity, unity and allyship. This event continues and I am honoured to say that I am still invited back every year as a guest speaker.
