Year: 2nd
Bio: Born in Australia, raised in the USA, living in Scotland and the owner of one very mixed up accent. I spent most of my school life at Pymble Ladies College, Sydney (sister school to Cheltnam) and played various sports there. Main achievements include competing at National Level for snowboarding and skiing from 2001 - 2006. After highschool, I ventured to Edinburgh to teach and coach at Fettes College Prep School. At Fettes, my main focuses were hockey, swimming, netball and skiing (as well as kidding around with the other "gappies"). Now, I spend my summers coaching the VHC Stingrays - a development swim team in Southern California. We have competitive swimmers from age 3 and up! I may be the website and promotions intern round these parts, but I promise - I am not a geek!
Interesting Fact: I snuck into the VIP section at a Beyonce Concert in LA and sat four rows in front of Blake Lively. Best. Night. Ever.

Name: Samantha Barnwell 
Subject: Geography
Year: 2nd
Bio: I was born and raised in Essex, and I love pretty much all sports and cannot think of anything worse than leading a lazy life and being bored (something that happens far too easily). Netball is the sport that I am passionate about and I have been playing since I was 9. I've been part of the national championship winning teams for both my club and my county (East Essex) and have also had national trials. At St Andrews, I am currently the Netball Club Vice-President and also play for the Scottish Universities team and when I'm not found at the sports centre, I'm probably to be found procrastinating in and around the Irvine Building.
Interesting face: I can't ever eat any gluten, which means no pizza, pasta, bread, cakes or pastries (among many, many other things), and yes, this is rather annoying a lot of the time.

I started playing rugby at 7 and this has been my main sport ever since, I played for Yorkshire, Scottish Exiles and Scotland age group teams and now play for Dundee HSFP on Saturdays and the university team on a Wednesday, when not dealing with one of my many injuries; while trying to fit in some time to finish my maths degree somewhere in the week.
Interesting fact: I'm possibly the only person to ever need an ambulance to leave St Andrews gym
