Samar always makes me smile. She's moved from a country she knew and loved, the friends she made from childhood, her family and the life she knew to start over here in the UK. I never hear her complain, Samar just gets on with things and makes the best of situations. She's full of compassion, empathy and love and always has a smile on her face that makes me smile.  Samar has the best laugh and when you hear her laugh, it's infectious. Samar is one of the most beautiful women I have met at Leeds Trinity University. Thank you for being such a beautiful human, Samar.

Judith has worked here for nearly 30 years and is the beating heart of Student Support. She can transform a student’s or colleague’s day with her unique supportive manner. She has sorted out one or two of my emotional breakdowns too. We will miss her when she retires.

Never have I met a more unique individual in a work place
With Lucy you truly do not know what you are going to get on the day and conversations can flip flop between multiple subjects at the blink of an eye
Every day on site together is made by her presence shes a star!
I have chosen to remain anonymous simply because I know it will wind her up :)

# data[].attributes.body
Because I didn't get to know her long before I was moved teams, but she is someone I wished I got the chance to work with for longer! The little time I had with her I enjoyed all of our interactions and left with a smile on my face :)

Because they have all been integral to making myself (someone who is ND) feel welcome after transferring to a new team towards the end of last year!

# data[].attributes.body
I had a visit recently from students who are from ND/Care Experienced and a variety of other backgrounds! The team lead by Jen was so lovely in making sure that they felt comfortable on the visit and working around their needs! and alongside this they are always a pleasure to interact with whenever heading for food on site and a real credit to the community feel of LTU :)

# data[].attributes.body
Because she has a tough role and I think despite this she still made the effort to get to know me when I was still in the SRO Team, understanding a bit about my ND and making an effort to adjust for me. Others in the team are aware of how much I appreciate them, but for Tania I haven't really said it out loud as much so wanted to do so here

# data[].attributes.body
One of many reasons but particularly they have been an amazing and supportive manager (and friend) to me through a very challenging family bereavement.

# data[].attributes.body
Lisa is not only exceptional at what she does, she is also a colleague who is always positive and smiling. She not only inspires me in the work she does but also in her attitude to it. She is a pleasure to work with.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for always trying to find solutions rather than point out the problems! It inspires me to keep pushing forward with looking for opportunities.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for inspiring me to keep moving!! Your dedication to providing opportunities for everyone to get active is amazing and seeing the benefits for staff and students is brilliant. I look forward to enjoying a bacon butty at the end of another running event with you soon!

Lovely Library Ladies!

Lauren was one of the first people I met at LTU when I started a year ago and made me feel really welcome and supported. I love working with Lauren and her team because I'm always made to feel welcome and like we can achieve things together.

Because she said I looked younger than I am!! In seriousness though, I've worked with Ammarah on evaluation for a while now and she's been an amazing champion for evaluation work and a fantastic mix of curious and conscientious in doing that. It's been so helpful for me in staying motivated and learning about LTU.

# data[].attributes.body
Verity is the person who keeps things connected and I actually couldn't cope without her in our team but on a more personal level I really value her curiosity and sharp insight. It makes my work more interesting, meaningful and just all-round more enjoyable.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't been working with Teah for that long but I've really appreciated her focus and enthusiasm. I think the best evaluation work involves learning and sharing and Teah's approach really had that from the start, which makes my job a lot more fun!

# data[].attributes.body
Over the last year I worked with Alina around evaluation and she has been incredibly helpful, responsive and considered. The care and connection to her work and her team really stood out to me and I'm really happy to have her as a colleague.
