Kiara Nirghin (2017)

We are exceptionally proud of past student of St Martin's - Kiara Nirghin. Kiara has been featured in the March-May 2017 edition of Forbes Woman. Kiara has also been granted a scholarship at Stanford University in the US.

Kiara has also been featured in the news on the City Press website:
