“I do a lot of social media for the school including the dance team, journalism, and DECA,” said Nelson. “I help run the social media accounts.”  Â
When Nelson grows up she plans to go into the business field or be an orthodontist. Depending on the career path she chooses Nelson she would like to attend NC State or either UNC-Chapel Hill.Â
“Being an orthodontist is kinda like a safe career choice because you will always have a job,” said Nelson “My backup plan would be going into business.”Â
