Stepping into university life with resilience and ambition

Coco will be studying Law alongside a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Political Science and Philosophy. She’s excited to explore a new city, meet new people, and experience the independence of university life. While she hasn’t settled on a specific career path yet, Coco’s interests lie in legislation, research, and the ways law can create real and lasting change. Her goal is to find a role where she can use her skills and curiosity to make a positive impact on others.

Resilience is one of the key lessons Coco will carry with her into university. Managing challenges, pressure, and setbacks has taught her to stay composed and adaptable, qualities she knows will serve her well in her studies and beyond. From her beginnings to her final days as a senior, Coco’s journey at St Margaret’s has come full circle, and she’s excited for all that lies ahead.
