I am a vegetarian, bow-wearing, clarinet-playing twin. After lettering in math team & marching band, I got a retro letter sweater instead of a leather jacket since I am opposed to leather & adore 50s garb. This is just one case where I diverged from the norm.
I am the salutatorian at the Rockdale Magnet School for Science and Technology. My senior year I took 3 math classes & was elected Mu Alpha Theta president! I am also both an AP Scholar with Honor & a National Merit Commended Student. I plan to continue to overachieve at Agnes Scott College.
