My role
My role in the Lifelong Learning Centre (LLC) is to support students (current and prospective) during their time at Leeds to help them take care of their wellbeing, overcome any challenges they may face, maximise their potential and to succeed in their studies.
I support students as they navigate relevant University processes and procedures, helping to ensure that they are aware of and can access the support they need.
My day-to-day role includes providing one-to-one support, being involved in inductions and LLC events, and working with LLC colleagues to create a positive, inclusive, and supportive environment. I work closely with the LLC Student Support Officer, Paul Devlin, to ensure each student receives the support they deserve, no matter their background, circumstances or age.
I’ve worked at the University for over seven years, and with a student support function specifically for over four years. I’m passionate about supporting students, helping enable and empower them to achieve their goals and get the most out of their university experience.
