Meet the Advisors

Cath Clark

Hi, I'm Cath and I'm one of your student advisors. My job is to support you through your time at Wrexham University, and I am able to support you in matters ranging from academic appeals to extenuating circumstances.  I can also support you in understanding the University’s policies and procedures or perhaps you just need a friendly bit of advice. If you are in need of advice, then please pop in or send an email to suadvice@wrexham.ac.uk.

Outside of work I’ll be found walking my dog, sewing and crocheting, ferrying my children from one activity to another and drinking wine (not at the same time as driving obviously).


Leah Edwards

Hi, my name is Leah Edwards and I’m one of the Student Advisors here at Wrexham Students' Union!

My role is to support you throughout your time at university, making sure you have the guidance you need to succeed and feel confident in your studies. Whether you’re looking for help with submitting Extenuating Circumstances, need advice on an Academic Appeal, or just want a friendly chat about any concerns, I'm happy to help.

 

I was born in Wrexham and grew up around the beautiful town of Llangollen in North Wales, so I feel very much at home here at the University. I’ve always had a real passion for learning and truly believe it’s a lifelong adventure, so am hugely excited to advise and support you through your academic journey.

 

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me curled up studying with my three cats (Kami, Arthur, and Whis), spending time with family, or staying active in the gym.

 

If you need advice or support at any point during your studies, you can get in touch with the SU Advisors by emailing us suadvice@wrexham.ac.uk.
 

 

Carrie Bennett 

Hey there! My name is Carrie and I am the Head of Membership Services at WSU. I originally joined the Students’ Union in May 2022 as Membership Project Coordinator and a large part of my role is to ensure continuity of membership services which includes supporting students in our independent Advice Centre. Although this is still a big part of my role as Head of Membership, I also manage our small team of membership services staff meaning I get to be involved with lots of projects across student voice and opportunities. I’m also responsible for week-long campaigns and events such as our Wellbeing Week and Welcome Week! I love being busy and I am always looking for new challenges and projects to get involved with. The best thing about my role is that I get to work across a wide range of areas, meaning I get  to engage with lots of students. I will also be supporting key events and activities throughout the year so if you see, come and say hey!

Fun fact – I am a big Noel Gallagher fan, I love pasta and I have a naughty cat called Paddington.

You can contact me any time on carrie.bennett@wrexham.ac.uk
