Matthew Guy 

I was born in Suffolk, England where I grew up attending schools in Norton, Ixworth and Thurston Upper School. I moved to the city of Leeds in Yorkshire to become a student and stayed for the next 20 years.

Whilst a student I was involved in the student union becoming the Vice President Education and Welfare. Following that experience I started working in student housing and although worked for a short time for a Housing Association stayed in the student sector for the rest of my time living in Leeds.

I graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University in 2001 with a BA (Hons) in Housing Studies and became a member of the Chartered Institute of Housing. In 2005 I became a fellow of the Institute.

In 2006 after a lot of thought my partner and I moved to Nova Scotia in Canada. After five months of not working and six months in the retail sector I am again working in student housing for one of Canada's top universities.  I am very much enjoying my time in Canada, having lots of new experiences and learning lots about my new country, its people, politics and culture.

I volunteer for the Annapolis River Guardians, helping to monitor water quality on this important and beautiful waterway near my home.
