Nothing is Impossible .
In an exclusive interview, Letter to Graduates editor Gerry Power talks to one of the university's highest placed female graduates. But though her job takes her around the world in search of potential corporate shareholders, Wendy admits that she always intended becoming a teacher - until that is, she came to Queen's. Wendy Smyth was born in Essex in 1954. When she was 7, her father, a salesman with the drugs company Richardson Merell, swapped Billericay for Belfast and moved his family to Northern Ireland. After a spell at Strandtown Primary School, Wendy attended Bloomfield Collegiate from 1966 - 1972, before coming to Queen's to read languages.
