Eloise Smith

In this episode, hear Olly Belcher, President of the St Edmund Hall Association, in conversation with Eloise Smith who came up to the Hall in 1996 to read English Literature and Language.  Eloise managed to combined her degree with her fencing career during which time she became the Commonwealth Fencing Champion in the Individual Women’s Foil in 1998.  Shortly after Eloise left Teddy Hall, she competed in the women’s individual foil event at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Despite all her fencing, Eloise had a career in advertising and marketing and has recently returned to her love of English by writing and publishing her first book, Sister to a Star.
