Written by her...
"I am looking for a PA to be my uni buddy; helping me with a whole range of things I struggle with, such as my personal care, some study support, socialising and generally having fun!This will be my first experience of working with a PA and very much look forward to working together to ensure my time at uni is successful in every sense.
Despite not being very physically capable, I am fiercely independently minded with a can-do attitude, so will try to do as much for myself as possible but sometimes I need someone to take over so that I can actually manage to fit everything into my day.
I am a very positive, sunny, optimistic and hardworking person and would like to find someone to help me when I need it, and laugh with me at some of my quirks and challenges that we try to overcome together."
