Stephanie Vallancey Martinson,
MA Health, Science and Society:
School of Health in Social Science

Our very own Vice President Education and Basketball superstar, Steph, graduates today with her MA Health, Science and Society! 🎓 Why has she loved Edinburgh so much?

“I have loved all of it. From late night study sessions with my friends and playing sports alongside my degree. To being elected as the next VP Education! I have put in many sleepless nights, and energy, into the past few years of studying. Acting as school rep and getting involved in as many ways I could, it felt as if it was all worth it for that moment.”

Congratulations, and we cannot wait to see what all you achieve this year! 🎉
