About Me
Shandy Marbles
Create Change team member
Hello. My name is Shandy and I'm part of the Create Change team. My pronouns are she/her and I'm fine with they/them too. Some things about me are that I'm queer, disabled, autistic, and very silly. I have a degree in English literature and creative writing, a foundation degree in mental health, and a teaching qualification for adults in community education. I have taught drama and creative writing as well as courses in self-care and managing mental health. I'm very into arts and crafts even though I mostly just make messes. I love books, music, collecting weird stuff, and Wensleydale cheese. I also love autumn, silver things, animals, and I'm quite fond of Clarice Starling. I don't like shaking hands and my facial expressions don't work very well but I am very pleased to meet you!
