Hey my name is Kristie, I'm 34 years old and I have been studying with the OU since September 2020. I've had a crazy ride on my studying journey and fell really unwell in 2021 after a serious car accident, since then I have had to learn to adapt and create new ways of studying, and due to my brain being affected that meant my memory is not as good as it used to be, I am no learning to utilise my diary and alarms for study times and TMA's (which itself is hard to remember!)
I want to create a larger space for disabled students and be a voice for those who need that extra support and guidance.
