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. Because of her involvement with various performing arts societies, Grace encountered YSTV on numerous occasions around campus and thought it looked like fun so vowed to join in her 3rd year at York.
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.
Following in the massive footsteps of Helen Hobin, Grace decided to try editing and found that she is not completely computer-illiterate and successfully completed her first Society Promo in November 2013.
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.
Grace ran for YUSU Welfare and Community Officer in the 2014 Elections and really missed doing YSTV during campaigning. She did, however, order a purple hoodie which she regretted the moment campaigning was over, due to wearing purple and yellow for 2 weeks.
She is YSTV's 'Best Onscreen Female' Entry for the 2014 NASTA and is intrigued by Chris Wall's stories about toothpaste.
