Whiz Kid: Ashley Barrett

Whiz Kid's Name: Ashley Barrett

Whiz Kid's Age: 15

Whiz Kid's School: Greater Atlanta Christian School

Whiz Kid's Accomplishment: Ashley is an all-around good kid. Not only does she do well in school, but also she makes time to volunteer her time to help pets and people. She consistently makes honor roll, is a Beta Club member, attended Emory University Summer Institute for the Gifted program and is a Duke University 'TIP' student. (Yearly, Duke University provides programs for high-achieving students through its Talent Identification Program.) Ashely also volunteers weekly at Hightower Farm & Animal Sanctuary pet adoption events and monthly at a downtown shelter feeding Atlanta's homeless population. In addition, Ashley's mother, Lindy Barrett-Grove said she is role model for her younger sister.

Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness: In Barrett-Groves words: "Ashley has natural drive and ambition and pushes herself to be the best that she can be.  I believe she inherited her work ethic from her maternal grandfather who started and ran a successful import/export business when he first immigrated to the United States from Germany."
