Meredith Swanson is a curious 17-year-old who is constantly trying new things, which has led to her leading a fast-paced, busy, but fun life. While most of her time is taken up by rowing, she dedicates time to singing, writing, and especially to her younger siblings. She loves writing about food (see her work thus far), but she also cares deeply about the environment, and wants to write about it more this year. She plans to go into a STEM field, but knows that her enjoyment of writing will be beneficial to her throughout her life.
