Michelle Zhang

what are your plans for the future?

I will be attending Northwestern University and I'm currently thinking of doing a double major in environmental engineering and statistics. In the future, I'd like to become a professor at a women's college and do environment/sustainability focused research!

Current book?

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

favorite subject?

Probably science and math. I enjoy doing labs and working with numbers, but I honestly like all subjects.

favorite pastimes?

I've been figure skating since elementary school, so I'm very invested in keeping up with international competitions live. I also started journaling this year as a way to record my experiences and feelings (I thought it would be fun for me to look back on what I write now in a year or so).

favorite part of school?

My extracurriculars of science olympiad and speech have been a highlight of high school - I'm deeply appreciative of the communities and memories they have provided me with.
