Carly Silvers

Discover more about our OU Pride Communiations Officer, Carly Silvers.

HI! I am Carly, pronouns she/her, and I have been co-opted to OU Pride for this term, acting as Communications Officer. I'm about to start the final module of a History degree and hope to go on to study for my Masters in the same with the OU. 

I live in North West London with my wife and 2 cats, now that our kids have gone to university. 

I used to work for large technology companies, but semi-retired about 5 years ago, and now have my own business well away from the tech industry. When I'm not working or studying, I enjoy a good film or book, am an amatuer luthier, and own a British motorcycle, so can often be found getting my hands oily in the garage.  

My biggest aim for this term is to create and maintain a safe space for every LGBTQ+ student.
