Sisters Tess and Bridget E. Hegarty, NY D ’13, were profiled by the Brookfield Patch (CT) in celebration of the Gold Award Centennial. The Gold Award is the highest award earned in Girl Scouting. Bridget is working on her Ph.D. in environmental engineering at Yale University. Her project to earn her Gold Award centered on supporting teens with Celiac Disease.
“When I was in high school, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, so I had a lot of questions,” Bridget said. “I found that there were very few resources to explain my disease to others, so I decided to focus my Gold Award Project on that.” During her undergrad work at Cornell University, Bridget was president of the NY Delta Chapter of Tau Beta Pi and now serves as an advisor to the CT Alpha Chapter.
