Thank you to Epworth for providing me with such an excellent foundation for my continued education and career as a neuropsychologist and Wellcome Trust Research Fellow. My formative high school years instilled lifelong values within me and helped me gain a strong sense of direction and purpose which has been an important part of my journey, both personally and professionally.

Not getting accepted into medical school obviously broke my heart, and I set off to study a bachelor’s degree in science. One week into the start of that degree, I received a phone call from Wits saying that they had been trying to reach me as I have a place there to study medicine. I could not believe it!

Sunusha Moodley and Tiara Joseph (class of 2019) are peers and friends from Epworth.
