Emmy Redman - (Class of 2016)
My name is Emmy Redman and I am a proud Mayfield girl. I have had a passion for anything creative for as long as I can remember and the importance that Mayfield places on the creative subjects has enabled me to develop and grow as a person. When I joined in 2011, I was awarded an art scholarship. I have always found the academic subjects challenging and the creative subjects for me were a release and a happiness that they allowed me to indulge in, encouraging me to investigate, learn and push myself to perform to a much higher standard than that I believed I could achieve. Mayfield has instilled a great work ethic in me.
After completing my A Levels last summer I was excited to be attending the well known London College of Fashion to study Costume for Performance. Unfortunately, this course was not what I hoped it would be and I made the challenging decision to transfer to another university to study Fashion Design.
Being a girl who likes to keep busy, I decided to fill my time by travelling and starting my own fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog with a view to this being a platform for promoting my own business in the future. In my blog, I am celebrating fashion, beauty, travel and many other things that inspire me, bring me happiness and capture my imagination hoping they will capture others too. I feel strongly that fashion is not just style and trends but also individuality, and I love the differences in people.
Through my time at Mayfield I have benefitted from the incredible support that they provide and the encouragement that allows girls to believe in themselves, always having a positive attitude and the confidence to strive and take on new challenges.
I am extremely grateful to Mrs Budden in the Textiles department and Mr Rees, Mrs McFadyean and Mr Fuggle in the Ceramics Department for their endless support and positivity. Every cloud has a silver lining. Having made the brave decision to move, I then needed a new challenge before September and was looking for an internship. Through the incredible Mayfield alumnae network I was introduced to two amazing entrepreneurs, Alice Holden and Fleurette Mulcahy, my two new best friends and founders of Attollo Lingerie.
Attollo is a new company producing not only beautiful and flattering but also comfortable D+ lingerie for ladies with small bands but large cups (28D-34GG). I was lucky enough to meet these two beauties for coffee and discuss my enthusiasm and passion for design, business and lingerie, women’s wear and accessories. I am very excited to be able to say I am their first ever intern.
I am a very proud Attollo girl and looking forward to an exciting fresh start at university with all the opportunities it will bring.

34 The Old Cornelian SUMMER 2017
Cornelians’ NEWS
Hannah Berry - (Class of 2016)
I graduated from Bristol this summer with a degree in Geography. I spent a year abroad in Valencia as part of my course and I had a wonderful year, made lots of friends and my Spanish is much better now. My love for volcanoes, that started at Mayfield, definitely hasn't gone away - in fact quite the opposite has happened. The Geography course at Bristol has been great for Glaciology, but it has lacked the Volcanology side of things. So I've had to take it into my own hands to get my life back on track towards studying volcanoes - something I now know I want to do as a career.
Just before my year abroad, I was accepted onto an internship with the volcanological organisation in the Canary Islands, InVolcan, to spend a month on the islands of Tenerife and La Palma monitoring volcanic activity. It was a bit of a miracle that I was accepted as one of four interns that month, the organisation prefers Earth Science/Geology students, but it was one of the best experiences of my life and really assured me that volcanology is what I want to do as a career. I actually got my name onto an abstract that was accepted as poster in the EGU Assembly this year.
But obviously that wasn't enough volcanology for one year, so I planned a big holiday with my parents around Vancouver and the north western USA to tick some more volcanoes off my list. We visited several of the Cascades (Mount St. Helens, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, Crater Lake etc...), and I actually took a day off holidaying to hike to the top of Mount St. Helens. Breathtaking views despite a very hard hike! We did go to Mt. Rainier as well and it was spectacular to see the relatively landscape (at least in comparison to Mount St. Helens). Yellowstone of course was on our list too - which didn't live up to my expectations having watched "Super Volcano" with Mrs Morris at Mayfield and “Erupt”! Fantastic hot springs and geysers - although a lot harder to understand/visualise the immensity of the caldera as it's so big that you can't see it, unlike the Cascade range. All in all a dream holiday.
I've now accepted a place at Bristol to do the one year MSc Volcanology programme!
