Zakia Maria Volschenk was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa and emigrated to the UK in 2018. She is currently studying Health and Social Care, a course she is enjoying immensely.
As the FE Student Governor, Zakia would like to focus on Diversity and Inclusion within the College to ensure that every individual feels accepted and knows that their opinions and thoughts are valued. She would like to create a safe environment to enable students to share their opinions and beliefs, and where they will feel valued and recognised from the first day they step foot in Exeter College.
