Hi I’m Ruthie! I am a second-year law student in the School of Law and Social Justice. I have Cerebral Palsy and I am so excited to use my lived experienced as a disabled student to help support other students. When I’m not in uni, you can usually find me in an independent coffee shop, having a flat white, or adding to my ever-growing vinyl collection.

Student disability coaches called Zach

 

Hi, I'm Zack! I'm a third year Computer Science student from Bradford, West Yorkshire. In my free time I enjoy socialising with friends and watching films. I'm also learning to play the drums! As someone who's been through the university and DSA processes, I'm very excited to get started with the drop-in service and support my peers.

Hi, I'm Lucy, and I'm a third-year psychological sciences student from Sheffield. I have loved my time at UoL so far and I am really excited to start this position as a disability coach. Outside of uni I love to dance and do anything exercise related.  I am currently on a university hip-hop Team which has been a great experience! 

 

Amy S (she/her)

Hello! My name is Amy and I am mature student studying a MRes in Advanced Biological Sciences. I have been at the university for 5 years now as I undertook a foundation year at Carmel College. Before university I worked as a laboratory assistant for the NHS, and decided to leave to come and get a degree! In my spare time I love going to gigs and festivals. I have first-hand experience with accessing support from the disability team and so will be happy to help with any enquiries relating to the service!

Hi, I'm Marcus! I'm a Sociology master’s student at Liverpool! I think having cerebral palsy and studying this degree has given me a greater understanding and appreciation for the importance of inclusion and acceptance and I'm excited to get started in this new role where I hope I can make a positive difference! Outside of university, I like to relax by listening to music and watching films. Most of all though, I love going to Anfield to watch Liverpool and going to gigs with my friends.

 Shaun (he/him)

 Shaun G JPG

I joined the Army at 18 and enjoyed a 22-year career. Last year I completed the Go Higher course and now I am living my dream studying Egyptology. I am a season ticket holder at Everton which is challenging. 

Jack (he/him)

Hey there! I'm Jack, a 20-year-old law student in my third year here at the University. I've had disability support plans set up for me with both university and college and am well-versed with DSA procedures. Living with hypermobility and hypotonia has given me first-hand experience in navigating these systems and overcoming the challenges that come with them. I'm incredibly passionate about ensuring that everyone has access to the support they need to succeed. Whether it's sharing my own experiences or lending a helping hand, I'm here to make sure that no student feels left behind. I'm thrilled to be part of this community, and I can't wait to meet you all at the drop-in or around campus.  Let's make the most of our time here at Liverpool, together.

Vivien (she/her)

Hi, I’m Viv a archaeology master’s student! As a mature student with disabilities, I completed the Go Higher foundation year and my undergraduate archaeology BA here at Liverpool. I am also part of the Ancient Jewellery Making project in the ACE department. Having accessed disability support during my studies I now want to help and support other students. In my role as a disability coach, I will be using my first-hand knowledge of the service to support inclusivity and accessibility. I am friendly, approachable and happy to help!
