Josephine Burdekin

Josephine Burdekin is always trying to make the world a better place, whether by starting difficult yet necessary conversations in Mr. Calvert’s African Ideologies & Revolutions class, being the chair of the honor committee, telling jokes and laughing with all her friends, or helping her team dominate on the volleyball court. On the weekends, Josephine loves learning new dance moves and shocking all her friends with her clean movements, or gliding on the ice whilst performing tricks that only an experienced figure skater like herself could pull off. With that being said, it is no surprise that Josephine’s favorite Webb memory was her sophomore year Homecoming. Josephine has continued laughing with friends on the senior bench and is excited to chill out and stop trying to fit in molds other people are creating beyond high school. Attending Yale University in the fall, Josephine will soon transition from being a Webbie to a Bulldog. Although her favorite class at Webb was Advanced Studies Fascism with Mr. Huerta, she plans on majoring in either Molecular Biology or Biochemical Engineering after coming to realize that she enjoys stem-based courses.
