We are pleased to welcome a new volunteer to the team, Shanice Machio. Shanice is based in Stirling and will be working on one of our “Your Area” Guides for us. Here’s a little more about Shanice:

 

Hello, I’m Shanice and I live in Stirling. I am from Kenya and I came to Scotland to study for my masters. Being new to Scotland, I wanted to learn more about the area I’m living in so I was happy to discover that I was able to join the Housing Options Scotland volunteer programme.

 

I am an online researcher volunteer – my task is to write area guides to assist people when moving to a new city. In my free time, I like to take walks – I’m aiming for 6km a day, taking a different route each time to help me learn more about my area.
