Ms Moulam said the last 18 months had been “a whirlwind” of full time study for a MA in Social Policy and, in her spare time, advocating for those who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
“Whether I am attending a board meeting, delivering a lecture, leading a workshop, or talking at a school assembly, I’m achieving my aim of creating greater awareness of AAC and engaging allies for AAC users,” she added.
In July 2024 she was awarded an honorary doctorate in health by Manchester Metropolitan University for her Paralympic achievement and for her advocacy work around AAC.
She said it was “humbling to be rewarded for doing something you love with a passion”.
Ms Moulam said the late Rob Burrow had done “a great job of raising awareness of electronic communication devices”.
“His celebrity status as a rugby player gave him a platform to raise awareness of motor neurone disease and, as a by-product of that, this type of equipment,” she said.
Ms Moulam said her own sporting career had also given her an awareness raising platform, which alongside her voluntary advocacy work included “lecturing, public speaking, delivering workshops and training and mentoring”.
She said: “It is all about awareness raising and my passion around empowering other people who use communication resources.”
