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.
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 Onscreen Female' Entry. 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. She can't wait to be Helen Hobin's right-hand-man for station meetings in the next year!
