Waking up to darkness and frosty windows.

 I am originally Australian, but spent most of my life in China at a British international school, so Durham Uni seemed like a natural extension. I’m secretly a qualified fitness instructor and would love to eventually teach classes in addition to working in the fields of journalism or law. I have a very diverse range of interests and will generally stick my head into anything as long as it doesn’t involve spiders! Ever since my debut in the Hungry Caterpillar, I’ve been drawn to the theatre so keep your eye out for my articles if you want to keep up with what’s going on in the performing arts scene at Durham! I joined Her Campus because it seems like a fantastic opportunity and launching platform for students to get involved in journalism at university. I love the diversity of the magazine, it’s link between American and British universities and hope to contribute to Durham’s growing chapter!

Hey! I am a second year student at Durham University studying Sociology and Anthropology. I love writing and spending time with people and so cannot wait to start a HerCampus Chapter at Durham.
