Women in Technology name Starr’s Mill junior Girl of Year

Women in Technology and Scintel Technologies have named Brittany Clarke, a junior at Starr's Mill High, this year's recipient of the WIT Girl of the Year award.

The award recognizes a girl who has demonstrated a strong interest in science, technology, engineering, or math and, among other things, is credited with exemplary performance in education and school citizenship and has created a lasting and positive impression on a WIT GIRLS sponsoring host company and a WIT member.

Brittany says she has known since seventh grade that she wanted to be a neurosurgeon and work with biomedical technology. “My motto is ‘don’t follow your dreams, catch them and make them a reality’ because regardless of what people say, with determination and hard work, the world is in each and every individual’s hands, and the future is theirs to mold,” Brittany says.
