Jessica Williams

In her second year at the University of Otago and Salmond College, Jessica Williams resides as our Residential President for 2014. She has a strong interest and passion for both the sciences and the arts. In 2012 she gained a place at Julliard School of Music in NYC and is awaiting a further scholarship to make this opportunity a possibility. She hopes to gain entry into Clinical Psychology and complete her Masters in Dunedin. Currently she is working with a large group of students on an entry for the Iona Trophy Choir Competition, which Salmond placed first in last year under her direction. The family-based community and strong sense of ethos is something she has sought to foster and lead during her year here.
