About our Client
Our client will be stepping into her 3 rd year at Essex University studying Creative Writing. She has a diagnosis of Spina Bifida and is a full-time wheelchair user.

With a joyful and delightful persona, she is keen to gain more independence whilst at university.
As written by our client
I am a happy, easy going 22-year-old with an old soul. Maybe slightly over emotional at times and a little bit shy until you get to know me. I am going to Essex University to study creative writing as I believe in the power writing has to make someone feel seen and heard. Another reason I applied to university was to see how
independent I can be, as up until now I have relied heavily on family members especially
my mum.
I relax by spending ages on my makeup whilst listening to my old-fashioned taste in music
or a classic 2000s comedy or a period drama. I am more of a go out for a day drink than a
nightclub kind of person. I do have a car that my electric chair can use but I cant drive. I
really enjoy hanging out with other people and chatting but I can also be easily pleased
being by myself. I also own a dog so it would be good to know your animal lover even
though I wont be taking him with me. I am a practising catholic and go to church when I feel
well enough.
