Hi I’m Arron! I grew up in Salford, near Manchester, and enjoyed subjects like Geography, IT, and Art during my teenage years. I faced difficulties in school due to bullying, which made me feel isolated. After high school, I attended college to study Geography, English, Photography, and Psychology while working at a restaurant. I worked with kids and teens during placements in both primary and high school setting, supporting their learning and development. Currently, I work as an admin assistant at a mental health charity, where I support others. An interesting fact about me is that I have a degree in Geography and researched the impact of green spaces on mental health. As a teen, I was passionate about comic books, cartoons, and sci-fi, especially shows like Doctor Who and anything related to Marvel. Today, I still love exploring these genres, along with my interests in watching fantasy TV shows and movies, going for long walks in nature, creating digital montages on my phone, and engaging in arts and crafts. I have a keen interest in neurodiversity, which I have explored since my diagnosis a couple of years ago. This interest has allowed me to support young people who may share similar experiences - at Uncommon and beyond!
