School of Sociology and Social Policy

Student Experience Manager

I am responsible for developing initiatives and ideas to enhance the experience of all our students during their time at Leeds.  Taking account of the various stages of a student’s ‘journey’, I have created a flexible and structured programme of support tailored to meet the differing needs of today’s students.
From pre-arrival to the first weeks at University; writing essays and developing students’ academic and study skills; through to leaving Leeds as an employable graduate, my aim is to provide the best possible experience for all the students in the School.
I work closely with academic staff and the students to provide and to ensure a high level of student support and guidance. Additional Roles and Responsibilities include:

• Module Manager: SLSP 1142 Study Skills for Social Sciences
• Chair of the Student:Staff Forum.
• Industrial Placement Advisor
• Study Abroad Advisor
• Student Induction Manager
• Project Manager: ‘Employing You, Employing Me’ (TESS funded 2010/11)
• Project Manager: Industrial Placement Development (TESS funded 2011/12)
• Student Survey Responses Coordinator
• Student Employability Coordinator
• Peer Mentor Coordinator
