My role
As an Academic Mentor at the LLC my role is to support our students during their higher education journey. I’m here as a sounding board - to answer questions, listen to concerns and help learners access the University’s many brilliant services.
My own journey at Leeds began in September 2023 when I started studying for my MA and working in student support at Leeds University Union. In 2024 I took a brief hiatus to work for a Leeds-based mental health charity. But I couldn’t stay away long, and I’m now back on campus!
As a recent graduate I understand that university, and life outside of it, comes with its own pressures and challenges. Fortunately there’s an extensive student support network on hand here at Leeds to help learners overcome obstacles and manage demands.
Academic Mentors are only one small part of this - our aim is for LLC students to feel supported, heard and valued.
