Noreen Mohamed is a senior at Green Hope High School. This is her second year on the GHFalcon.  Noreen is a nationally recognized writer for her work on a variety of subjects. In the future, Noreen is still deciding between a career in law or nursing but would do great in either field. In her free time, Noreen enjoys baking, playing tennis (though not very talented), and hanging out with her friends. She spent her summer working at the YMCA as a counselor for several, tiny elementary schoolers. Noreen could eat chicken alfredo every day if she had to, but her favorite restaurant is Angus Barn in Raleigh. She is a Cary native and even hopes to stay after graduation. She also has an older brother and sister that she is very close to, and hopes to attend UNC just like them. Go Heels!
