Alongside her studies, Sophia will represent the university on the court, combining her academic and sporting passions. Eager to experience new places and meet new people, Sophia is ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that come with studying and living overseas. Her long-term goal is to become a primary school teacher, continuing her commitment to learning and helping others.

During her time at St Margaret’s as a boarder, Sophia developed the confidence, resilience, and self-belief that will serve her well in the next stage of her journey.
