Amil Agarwal (he/him)
Chemistry and Applied Mathematics ’25
Hey! My name is Amil and I’m from Matthews, North Carolina. I’ve competed in Science Olympiad before and am excited to be working with everyone else to host an invitational for middle and high school teams! In my spare time, I like to read sci-fi, ride my bike, photograph nature, and go on long walks in the rain/snow. A fun fact about me is that I’ve hiked the entirety of Blue Ridge Parkway, and have hiked on nearly every mountain range in the state of North Carolina.
