I would love to become the Disabled Student officer as I am incredibly passionate about improving the student life of disabled students such as myself and advocating for our needs. As someone with both physical and mental disabilities, I have insight into the potential difficulties a disabled student may have in day to day life, and I wish to be able to be able to improve these in whatever way I can. I am currently a disabled student advocate, and this role has allowed me the opportunity to channel this passion. As a result of this passion, I have been encouraged to run for this role by members of the team. I am also a student representative for my course, and through this I have been able to work closely with my tutors to ensure that the education courses are disability-friendly. In this role I am able to provide feedback to my tutors on what could be improved to help disabled students, and imform them of when these changes have had a positive impact. If I were to become the Disabled Student officer, I would bring my passion and love for advocacy to the role, and I hope to be given this wonderful opportunity to improve the lives of all the disabled students at Herts.
