A student from Bermuda is helping two of her siblings settle into university life in Cardiff. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Destiny Smith, 22, a third-year student on the BA Advertising Design course at the University of South Wales (USW), now has her sister and brother keeping her company. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Big sister Krystal Lowe, 26, has recently taken up a position as associate lecturer in dance, while brother TJ, 20, has just started the first year of an animation degree. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

TJ is the only boy in the family – with Destiny and Krystal just two of his seven sisters. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Even though she has only just started her final year at USW, Destiny has already secured a job at S3 advertising in Cardiff when she graduates next year. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“It’s great to be offered my dream job before I have finished my studies,” said Destiny. “I’ve already learned so much at USW and am looking forward to improving my skills further before I leave to start my career.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

For Krystal, the lecturing role allows her to pass on the skills she honed while working for Ballet Cymru. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“I started there in 2012 as a ballet dancer, and am still a guest artist, and the flexibility with USW allows me to continue to perform with Ballet Cymru,” said Krystal. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“I’m still very active with the company, and will be performing in Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs at the Wales Millennium Centre this December,” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

And for TJ, the decision to come to Cardiff came easily. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“I chose USW for its percentage of success, high ranking for my degree and distance from home,” he said. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
