Julienne Nestler matriculated from Pecanwood College in 2017. After matriculating from Pecanwood College, Julienne, went on to complete a BA Law Degree, at the University of Pretoria in 2020. 

Julienne is currently studying towards her LLB Degree at the University of Pretoria and is due to graduate at the end of this year, 2022. 

After completing her LLB Degree at the end of this year, Nestler plans to further her studies, by applying to do her Masters, as well as doing her articles.

In the first year of her degree in 2018, Julienne joined the Psyche Society at the university, where she volunteered at an orphanage weekly, spending time with the children and helping the staff in any way they needed. “Through the society, I also helped to plan and work a ‘Fun Day’ event where we spent the day doing fun activities with the children from the Mamelodi township,” says Julienne.

For the last three years, Nestler has been part of the STARS Mentor at the University. As part of the mentorship, Julienne is assigned first-year students (usually 2-3) and works with them throughout the year to help them in their adjustment to the University from High School.

During the lockdown, like many of us, Julienne decided to complete a fun online course to pass time, mixology.

Some of Julienne’s passions include working with people, volunteer work and being a mentor at the University.

During the completion of her LLB Degree, she has acquired interests in international law, medical law, and criminal law. She hopes to pursue a career in one of these fields.

Julienne started at Pecanwood in 2013. Staying in the hostel she created many great memories. “One of the greatest and most significant events was the Academic Tour in 2015, where we travelled to Europe, and had incredible times making everlasting memories”, said Nestler.

“Pecanwood has contributed to my success in that I was provided a great education from brilliant teachers and that set me up to get into university and succeed in furthering my education”- Julienne Nestler.
