Heather Thompson attends Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. Currently in her freshman year and enrolled in General Engineering, Heather plans to keep up her excellent grades in order to specify in a double-major of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering. She hopes to one day find an outstanding job working on model cars or for NASA creating rockets.

Heather has always enjoyed being involved in choir and doing small shows for fundraisers or entertainment. Heather feels that it is extremely important for people to get involved in their communities. “It can build great character and people can make good friends who have the same goals in their lives.” She enjoys the unique and elegant style of Oriental Dancing, and has danced to raise money for breast cancer or singing at nursing homes.
