Nate Hanaghan '24 is a student at Brookline High School. For most of his life, Nate has had a book in his hand (and a stack more at home). While not always an active person, as a former Boy Scout, he has always spent time outside. More recently, he’s become involved in his school’s Speech and Debate Team, as well as teaching English through the nonprofit Language Virtual. He has also become enamored with volleyball and is rigorously preparing for tryouts in the spring. Nate has enjoyed creative writing since elementary school, writing elementary-school quality fiction stories throughout his early education. He is almost obsessively interested in space and hopes to pursue a career in an astronomy-related field in the future. He is thrilled to be part of the Whipple Fellowship and looks forward to working with the other Whipple fellows to improve his writing skills and create a meaningful and insightful piece of writing.
