"Being the first woman of colour to work on the teaching team has been a great achievement and progress that illustrates our commitment to developing inclusive practice, and my work will also include working with our teams to design and deliver an inclusive curriculum and research." Maryam Riaz Lecturer "I have always enjoyed teaching and training others throughout my career; joining the School of Health at Leeds Beckett University felt a logical progression. I take what I have learned from my years working in diagnostic laboratories and make what I teach highly relevant; ensuring students are equipped with the core knowledge they’ll need for their future careers." Helen Battersby Lecturer "My favourite thing about my time studying would have to be the doors that it has opened for me and being able to network with other professionals. The staff are also friendly and I have met some amazing people." Latoyah BA (Hons) Working with Children, Young People and Families "It’s difficult, it’s challenging, but also very rewarding. You meet many different people from many different backgrounds and are supported all the way through!" Gavin MSc Physiotherapy (Pre-registration) "I work with a team of people who are all focused on the research topic I’m passionate about and we have great links with local NHS services and voluntary organisations working with people with dementia, so we are able to do research that really helps to make a difference to the lives of people with dementia and their families."
