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.

Congratulations to Josh Gordon, Dani Gray and JT Taylor for their skills in managing a demanding academic programme at the same time as performing at the highest level in their chosen sport or interest.

Josh, who is studying Applied Science, plays on the wing for the Southern Premier Rugby team which is currently sitting second on the Dunedin Competition.

Dani, who is studying Health Science, plays WD or GK for the Markham Senior Netball team which is also sitting in second place in the Dunedin Competition. Dani has just been selected for the Otago U19 Net ball Team.
