1 Minute Preview: Jenni Morris (Land Economy, Jesus College, University of Cambridge) | Coffee's on Me, David Quan 权丁文

Jenni Morris is a 1st year Land Economist at Jesus College, Cambridge, who grew up in many places. Jenni has lived in Hungary, the UK, South Africa, Mali and Tanzania, rarely spending more than a year at each school she attended as a child. In Hungary for her teenage years Jenni developed a passion for rowing, but her experience at a competitive level forced her to quit for mental health reasons. Afterwards, Jenni became a competitive debater, having represented both Hungary and Cambridge at world championship events. Now at Cambridge, she spends a lot of her time rediscovering her enthusiasm for rowing with the Jesus College first boat. She has also led the Women's and NB Debating Workshops at the Union and is involved with the Hungarian Society at Cambridge."David's insightful questions lead to great conversations - I barely realized we were recording!" - Jenni---WHY? COFFEE'S ON ME, DAVID QUAN 权丁文 TL;DR: To process my emotions after a grueling campaign for President of The Cambridge Union, I reflected upon the influences of my late Grandfather and wrote him a letter: https://www.varsity.co.uk/features/23458 . Drawing inspiration from him, I hope to learn more from others through genuine discussions – giving listeners heartfelt conversations filled with authentic insights, and giving guests legacy-worthy interviews to treasure. To converse with someone without a strict time limit or structure – meticulously engaging in a curious process of clarifications or elaborations – is not only a rare privilege. This longer format also allows the sharing of otherwise unshared or unappreciated anecdotes. There are appeals to sound-bite media, of course, but the metrics that matter most to me are more about the uniqueness of contribution than measures of virality. Over time, I hope to be able to better deconstruct guests' fascinating experiences – to seamlessly tease out the insights for listeners to enjoy and learn from while cooking, commuting, relaxing, or walking their pet. But this personal project is fundamentally as much about what we can learn from the guests as it is to give them (current) legacy-worthy interviews. My top priority is for guests to enjoy a unique opportunity to challenge, learn about, and be themselves; hopefully, they will be able to keep recordings of in-depth, heartfelt conversations to reflect on in years’ time. And the best part for guests?
