Social Officer- Victoria Bolton
​
Hello, my name is Victoria Bolton. I am a PhD Student in Parasitology. I research dormant infections of Leishmania mexicana. I am originally from Germany and since I moved to Glasgow have absolutely fallen in love with the city. For me the PhD Society is a platform for PhD and PGR students from all backgrounds to come together and exchange ideas, engage in interesting conversation and support each other. Thanks to the PhD Society I have met lots of wonderful people from all kind of backgrounds and it has enriched my life. I hope that the PhD society can facilitate many more encounters during our social events in these absurd and strange times. Feel free to contact me or come along to our Pub/ virtual events every Wednesdays at 6pm.

Disabilty Officer - Zein Al-Maha Oweis

Hi, my name is Zein Al Maha but everyone calls me Zee. I am knows as the optimistic, bubbly and clumsy person in any friend group. I am the Disability Officer and a second year PhD Media and Cultural Policy researcher from Jordan researching all things media and disability. When not focusing on research you can find me hiking around Scotland with my trusty cane in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other or on the dance floor enjoying some Bachata or Salsa! Accessibility is important for everyone and that is what I hope to enforce and enhance at the PhD society.
