2021 Biology Hello! My name is Amelia, and I am approaching the end of my integrated Masters degree in Biology this year. Since joining Balliol I have tried to make the most of what the college and university has to offer. I learnt how to row and wrote for many student publications such as Cherwell, The Oxford Student and The Oxford Scientist, serving as Deputy editor in Science for two terms with The Oxford Student. I have also helped encourage prospective students to apply to Balliol through my work at the Open days Balliol hosts each year. My project will focus on documenting places of local history in the regions and cities I travel to, through the medium of embroidery, creating a final piece that chronologically encapsulates my trip and hopefully expands my horizons beyond tourist hotspots. I am excited at the prospect of expanding my connections in the wider college community, having varied travel experiences and seeing the US for the first time.
