Last month, Sarah Jegede (Medway, 2010) was awarded the title of Miss Africa Great Britain, beating 23 other hopefuls to the crown!<\/p>\n
We caught up with Sarah to ask about her experience at Kent and what else she has been up to since graduating.<\/p>\n
What made you decide to come to Kent?<\/strong><\/p>\n Kent was my first choice because I went to school in Canterbury and I was accustomed to seeing the university. I used to get off the bus inside the Uni and walk to school from there, so I was in there nearly everyday and I used to dream of being a student there. \u00a0I ended up going to the Medway campus, which was good for me because I got to be in a different environment but I was still close to home, which was an advantage.<\/p>\n What is your favourite memory of Kent?<\/strong><\/p>\n I was the vice president of the Nigerian Student Association at Medway so that was a lot of fun. The parties were great!<\/p>\n What have you been up to since graduating?<\/strong><\/p>\n After my graduation, I went out to Nigeria to do a year of youth service. Whilst I was there, I spent three weeks at a military style camp and then spent the rest of the year working. I came back to Kent after my service, and\u00a0took a job with Kent County Council where I still work.<\/p>\n What was your first job?<\/strong><\/p>\n The first job I had after university was working in the Psychology department at a mental health hospital during my year of youth service.<\/p>\n What has been your greatest achievement to date?<\/strong><\/p>\n There are a few achievements I could mention, such as graduating from University and completing one year of National Youth Service in Nigeria. My proudest achievement however has been winning Miss Africa GB !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
