HEIDI BAILLIE, SCHOLARSHIP WINNER 2008
Heidi is the latest to be awarded the RMLA scholarship. Heidi was born in Auckland, but spent much of her childhood in Southland before moving back to the “big smoke”. Secondary school was largely spent absorbed in music as a pianist and cellist, and she worked for Concert FM in Wellington before leaving for a three-year OE teaching English in the Czech Republic and South Korea. Heidi travelled through Eastern Europe, China, Mongolia and Malaysia before returning to New Zealand to complete a Bachelor of Science in Zoology and Statistics, and is now completing her thesis for the Master of Planning degree at Otago University.
