Taylor, BSc (Hons) Education
Student Ambassador and Aimhigher Alumni, studied at St Mary’s University, Twickenham
As a neurodiverse learner, I faced bullying and exclusion that affected my confidence and exam results in school, but supportive teachers helped me rebuild my self-belief, inspiring me to study Education and to one day support SEND learners myself.
After finishing A Levels during the pandemic, I spent a year volunteering as a Sports Coach and Youth Worker with SEND young people. This experience was rewarding but I missed learning and, after talking to teachers, went on to study Education at St Mary’s University (SMU) in Twickenham.
Aimhigher London was crucial in this journey. Through the Get Ready for Success conference and UniFish, I gained clarity on which universities could best support my needs, making my decision much easier.
Throughout my studies I worked with Aimhigher and St Mary’s University, Twickenham as a Student Ambassador and Inclusion Vice-President, and I am looking forward to building a future supporting
SEND learners and advancing equity in education.
