Hello! I am KJ (he/him), the current Vice-Chair of OU Pride for the 2025–2026 term. I am a trans gay man relatively local to Glasgow, and I am in my early 20s.
Furthermore, I am neurodivergent and have a range of mental and physical health conditions. I am also a care leaver (ex-foster child) and a young carer.
I am studying my first year of BSc Psychology and Counselling full-time, and I am also an admin for a Facebook group dedicated for OU Psychology students.
Additionally, I am a Student Representative member of the FASS Academic Committee for the 2025–26 academic year.
Like our Chair, my primary goal as the Vice-Chair is to pressure the University to further its support to all LGBTQIA+ students, and hold the OU accountable. I am also passionate about ensuring that the student community feel empowered, and consistently aim for their voices being represented and amplified where needed.
