What I Study

Second Year BA Social Anthropology with French.

why i became disabled students' pto

After being diagnosed with non-visible disabilities in my second year, I became involved in the conversation about disabled students at LSE. I quickly realised not enough was being done for us: inclusion plans weren’t being respected, the infrastructure and social life was not accessible. That’s why this year, I will represent disabled students to build a community and campaign for better support.

what i am looking to achieve this year

As your Disabled Students’ Officer, I will:

1. Build a community of disabled students at LSE: 
   1. Through regular and inclusive social events, 
   2. Active social media platforms,
   3. A team of disabled students dedicated to improving disabled students’ experiences at LSE 
2. Promote understanding of students’ experiences with disabilities and mental health through 
   1. Regular on-campus and online drop-ins, 
   2. Mental Health Weeks 
   3. Disability Awareness Weeks
3. Campaign for visibility and inclusion across the LSE and the SU
