ATLANTA -- With the academic year coming to a close, this week we are celebrating our student-athletes' accomplishments in the classroom. We sat down with walk-on volleyball player, Heaven Varner. The freshman knows several coding languages and has a passion for math and science.
A Georgia native, Varner's interest in STEM began at a young age. Many of her family members, including her mom, have degrees in STEM and work in corresponding fields.
"My family helped me get introduced to science and math concepts and from there I fell in love with it," said Varner.
In high school Varner had the chance to take computer science and programming classes.
