Get to know Jasmine...

What I studied 

I studied Primary Education with QTS 

My favourite thing about St Mary’s 

My favourite thing about St Mary’s was taking part in the community, socials have always been a lot of fun! 

What I’m looking to achieve this year  

I am looking to improve academic experience for all students. I have a range of focuses to achieve this year, from more education opportunities to bringing study abroad back.  

One tip for making the most out of St Mary’s 

One tip to making the most out of St Mary's would be to try something new! Whether it’s trying a new sport or going to an event, I find this where my best memories have come from. 

My best Simmie memory 

My best Simmie memory would have to be election night! The atmosphere is something I will never forget. The support, excitement from all my friends made this my favourite memory.
