I am pursuing a bachelor's degree in software development here at ITU. I have a chronic illness, therefore I attend school part-time and receive SPS (Special Educational Support) and this has given me the opportunity, as the Student to Student Advisor, to use my own hard-earned experience to advise other students, who might be physically, cognitively and/or mentally challenged. Some of the topics I am available to assist with are advice about requesting exemptions and advice on how to manage studying while being impaired.
In my board position I have focus on working with SPS to try to make sure that disabled students can partake as equals to their fellow students at ITU.
Besides this I am the new student representative in ITU's Diversity & Inclusion Committee. If you have input or topics you want the committee to discuss, please don't hesitate to reach out to me, either by booking a meeting or by email
