Watkins is the president of DECA and Student Council, a member of Austinaires, and is a student school board representative. “The activities I have been involved in through AHS have motivated me to become a better leader and have given me the opportunity to do good within my school and community,” she says.

Her plans for the future include attending the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota to major in marketing.

Each month the Austin Rotary, in conjunction with Austin Public Schools, selects two students who excel in academics, leadership, and/or activities.
