N E WS FROM ARO UND THE W OR L D Jan (JJ) Wan (IC 04) I helped win the 2019 Gridiron West Women’s West Bowl II Championship as an Offensive and Defensive starter with the Perth Broncos American Football Club’s Women’s team. I am living in Perth, Western Australia and currently a student at the University of Western Australia. In addition to gridiron football, I am also involved in burlesque performance and UWA’s Show Choir. Jack Fleming (05) My partner and I had a son, Valentine Võ Nguyen Fleming, and I founded a freight technology start-up called Chill-Chain. Life has been quite busy since! Matt Glenny (05) Hannah Robinson (05) and I got married in 2015. We had our first child, Edie (Edith) Robyn Glenny, on 27 December 2018. We both left Sevenoaks in 2005 – we weren’t an item at the time but my chasing paid off in the end! We have very happy memories and a wonderful group of mates who we keep in close touch with from Sevenoaks 2005 and 2004. We consider many to be our closest friends. Nickolai Vysokov (IC 05) I founded a company in 2018 doing two-way brain-computer interfaces called BrainPatch. We were awarded an EU grant for SMEs and started an accelerator programme at the Central Research Laboratory. If all goes well, we will be raising a financing round at the end of this year! There are two OS in the company – myself and Illya Tarasenko (IC 11). 2010-2018 Jacob Rainbow (11) This year, I was awarded Best in Show at the 43rd Annual Orchid Gardeners’ International Awards. I used to help the Marshals with some gardening projects for CAS hours during IB, and I used all of the great tips they imparted to speed me to domination in my field (pardon the pun!). My wife and I are currently writing a book called The Orchid Grower’s Bible: Blooming Lovely for publication in 2023. Elise Damstra (Sennocke 12) I got married on 1 June 2019 to Joseph Oddy in Yorkshire.
