Kargiannakis receives Young Leaders Award from the Queen

Melissa Kargiannakis, Master of Health Information Science student (who has just completed her degree), received a Queen's Young Leaders Award from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on June 22, 2015. Melissa traveled to Buckingham Palace to accept her award, and also met David Beckham, David Cameron and others.

In the video below, keep your eyes peeled for Melissa at about 1:27 (in her pink blazer). In the group photo later in the clip, you can also see her standing directly behind the Queen and David Beckham.

Congratulations to Melissa for doing what few of us will ever do - shake hands and have a chat with the Queen!
