To look out into the world

2016

Jessica Sang ‘16 is majoring in sport administration at the University of Cincinnati (Ohio, USA) and is planning on minoring in business administration. Jessica says that life has definitely been an adjustment since Discovery College, but it is been nice to be in a new environment and to experience some change. Jessica is just finishing her semester with the UC women's club basketball team and is planning on joining women's club rugby next semester. She is happy to have her brother and sister at university with her. They usually meet for lunch once a week and will be spending Thanksgiving and Christmas together this year, too.

Emma Yong ‘15 is in her second year of studying law at the University of Exeter. Her time so far has been extremely stressful with law firm applications, extracurricular activities on top of school work, but she is very happy to be back at university. Emma keeps herself occupied through her commitment in a variety of societies such as the Bracton Law Society, University badminton, Raise & Give, Women in Business and extracurricular activities. Emma has also recently been selected to compete at varsity level netball against Bristol Law School.

Chantel Woo '16 is currently studying at Barnard College of Columbia University, pursuing a double major in theatre and psychology. She has been loving life in New York so far, making use of (and spending way too much money on) the incredible theatre and food that the city has to offer. Most recently, she played O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) in a student-written musical parody of Kill Bill!"

Gabriela P Espina ‘15 just started second year at the University of York and it's been as busy as ever. She’s started captaincy for the Rugby club's first ever 2nds team and says she’s “tasted both victory and defeat.” In addition to all of the rugby, Gabriela has managed to land a part time job working at O2, a large phone company across the U.K. Gabriela still manages to find time for her degree in Politics and International Relations and is thankful for less contact hours on her timetable in her second year.

SHE JIE MAGAZINE – AUTUMN

Nina Rossiter ‘14 - This past year really showed Nina what a busy university student life is like. Her summer began with a 6 weeks intensive Chinese study abroad programme in Yunnan and Shanghai, followed by another month in Tokyo working under the lead UX designer at Tigerspike, an app agency. Other than class work, Nina put a lot of her time into an Environmental Justice research team which creates reports that strive to bring changes to environmental policy. Due to Northeastern University’s (Boston, MA) structure of work and study, Nina will start working full-time from January June at a healthcare advocacy group called Health Care for All in Boston. Nina says, “Having a 9-5 lifestyle will definitely be an interesting experience.”
