Meet Angelica Martini:
Angelica was born on May 19, 1999, in Memphis, Tennessee.

She is an acclaimed writer who has been published in four newspapers and magazines throughout Tennessee and New Hampshire and was recognized by the National Quill and Scroll Society for her accomplishments in journalism. In 2017, Angelica was named a semi-finalist for the National Presidential Scholars Program before moving to Atlanta where she would begin her undergraduate degree at Agnes Scott College. She is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and International Relations with a Spanish minor. After graduation, Angelica plans to earn a Ph.D. in Economics in order to help her advance toward a career as an economic advisor to the U.S. federal government.

A Photo that Describes Me:

My favorite part of a hike is the standing at the peak. I enjoy when the wind breezes through my hair at the perfect angle to dry my sweat. My calves are pulsing from that last stretch over boulders of the mountain. With just enough strength to stand, I pull my breath inside me, stretch out my arms, and gently fade into a long-lasting view.
This picture was taken at the completion of a journey with students from Phillips Exeter Academy up Mount Major, a mountain in the Northern corner of New Hampshire. This image depicts what I value most in myself: my determination, persistence, and ability to see beyond the horizon. I have learned to climb the trail despite its difficulty, keep moving because the future is inevitable, and promise myself to never fade from the view. My mother used to tell me, “life is full of many views, but they are only for the ones working to see them.”
