WAY TO GO! 👏👏 Albany High senior Matilda Gish says autism can make everyday school noise overwhelming, but she has learned how to manage it and build a path toward her future. Gish runs cross country and track, plays alto sax in multiple ensembles and ranks in the top 10 of her graduating class.
After graduation, Gish will attend Russell Sage College to study nutrition. She said she wants to help others find balance and stay true to themselves.
