Hi, I'm Zoe. I came to Keele in 2022 to study Biochemistry and Neuroscience. For those of the more mathematically astute, that means I have not yet finished my degree and will be continuing my studies after carrying out my Wellbeing role.
Last year I was working as a Casual Centre Assistant in the Sports Centre, as well as secretary of Boatclub (both places full of lovely people).
Outside of my role I love to go to the gym; I am a qualified PT and have chosen to specialise in powerlifting at the start of this year, approaching 3 years of gym experience. I am a prime advocate of getting people to actually enjoy fitness and the immense consequential effects this has on people’s wellbeing.
I also enjoy reading, playing bass and drinking tea in local coffee shops.
What advice would you give to students this year?
Getting one minute of sunshine can sometimes flip a bad day around. Also, never listen to sad music when you feel bad, it never ends well.
Talk to me about:
- Where to go in the University for support (whether personal, financial or otherwise)
- Difficulties experienced with the services provided by the University or Keele Students’ Union (Ie. Student Services, ASK or other supporting staff)
- Accessibility issues on campus
- If you feel that Keele is unsafe in any capacity
- How to make Keele more inclusive, diverse and equitable environment for students
- Tackling structural discrimination within the University (BAME, women, Disabled and LGBTQ+ students)
