Alex McConnell
Hi! My name is Alex McConnell and I’ve been living with PKU for 23 years. I’m a Sydney boy and have grown up striving to challenge myself in as many opportunities as I can. I am passionate about music, sport and photography and have taken part in programs such as Army Cadets, Sydney Swans Academy AFL and multiple courses in study beyond high school. I am currently enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts and Education and have completed a Diploma of Photography through which I worked in the industry as a freelance and assistant for 12 months.
I don’t see PKU as a disability, it is a part of me that I embrace. I look forward to sharing my experiences as someone living with PKU and hope some of the things I say can provide peace and guidance for you on your journey!
