When she’s not capturing touchdowns on the football field, or catching fly balls on the diamond, Brittany Park, senior can be found solving the latest math problem.
“I really enjoy math,” Park said, “It’s my favorite subject.” From a young age Park has had an inclination towards math, which she has influenced in her classes throughout high school.
“I’m currently taking AP Calculus BC, AP Physics 2, and AP Computer Science. But AP Calc is my hardest class.” What Park is attracted to in math is the problem solving behind it.
“I love when I am able to solve a problem and find solutions to it, it makes me feel accomplished.”
Besides math, Park also has another passion which resides in softball. As a varsity softball player Park, has loved the game since she was in kindergarten.
“I have played it as long as I can remember and over the years I just keep becoming more and more committed. I am always looking to become a better player and to improve my skills.”
As for photography, she was inspired her freshman year by photo teacher Ms. Breyne.
“I was really intrigued by photography and how much there is to learn,” Park said. “Ms. Breyne really encouraged me to join Amplifier to expand my knowledge of photography.”
That knowledge has expanded since freshman year, as Park worked her way up as a photographer to the Photo Editor for Amplifier.
“This year I am looking forward to covering as many events as possible, improving my photography skills and gaining more student involvement in Amplifier and all that we do.”
As for her plans next year, Park would love to continue her passion of math into a future career.
“Engineering intrigues me, I’m leaning towards civil engineering as a major in college.” As for what school she is interested in, “I would love to stay on the west coast and closer to home. Oregon State is my first option because of the amazing engineering program.”
As for what life has ahead, Park is ready to solve all the problems that await.

Despite having the bases loaded, the team was unable to score any runs. “It’s just the beginning of the season. We’re just going to be playing out best by June, [and] that’s where champions are,” Rowe said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_3077-1200x900.jpg)
