As a senior communicative sciences and disorders major at Alabama A&M University, Zia George wears many different hats. In addition to being a full-time honors student, she has served as treasurer and two-term president of the National Student Speech Language and Hearing Association; she is a student activist involved with Campus Vote Project; she works as a clinical assistant earning hours toward her certification; she is an officer in her sorority, Delta Sigma Theta; and she volunteers with several other organizations. Zia plans to become a doctor of speech-language pathology specializing in neonatal feeding and swallowing disorders. Her advice to those embarking on their journey beyond GCHS is: “Make your presence felt in every room you enter. This doesn’t mean being the loudest or most outspoken; rather, it’s about exuding confidence and authenticity.”
