Grace Winpenny
Grace arrived at York in 2011, keen to investigate the social habits of waterfowl and to do a Music degree. Amazingly, it took her until 2013 to become a member of YSTV. Grace had encountered YSTV on numerous occasions around campus and thought it looked like fun so vowed to join and has pretty much lived in the Station since her 3rd year at York. She is currently studying for an MA in Postproduction with Sound Design and still presents/produces content as a well-deserved break.
Through the kind/crazed encouragement of Matt Johnson, Grace decided to give presenting a go and has never looked back. A personal highlight was co-presenting Children in Need 2013 with Matt Judge where she demonstrated her baking prowess.
Grace would like to learn more about how not to break computers and listens in awe to the technical/computing-related discussions between Sam Nicholson and Robert Walker. She also enjoyed being David Heaton's Cable Monkey during the Wednesday semi-final of Battle of the Bands 2014.
She had an amazing time at NaSTA 2014, despite receiving mixed feedback for her 'Best On-Screen Female' Entry. Although she narrowly missed out on being entered again in 2015, Grace still 'really likes to present things' and also 'really likes typing things', and was elected as Secretary on 14th May 2014 for the 2014-2015 academic year and is enjoying being Helen Hobin's right-hand-man for station meetings.
As of the 2014 FLOPPYs Grace is the proud owner of the 'YSTV Mum' award.
