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.
WIT GIRLS, a program of the WIT Foundation, collaborates with the Georgia business and educational community to inspire girls in middle and high school to choose STEM careers. Brittany also participates in Girl Scouts, FIRST Robotics, HOSA (Healthcare Occupations Students of America), chess club, book club, and Society of Women Engineers.
