Allegra McDermott

Allegra McDermott graced the Webb campus four short years ago, following in her father’s footsteps. To the average student, you would not have recognized the young girl with blonde highlights, braided hair, and floral attire. Allegra describes herself as the, “all black wearing, business school attending, and Tesla crashing” girl everyone has grown accustomed to. But, there is more to Allegra than what your first interaction with her will tell you. Hidden beneath her strong, stubborn demeanor there is a girl who runs to hug her grandmother at the airport and spends hours a week at a college level computer programming course. Madison Steinorth (‘18) describes their friendship as, “the one reason coming to Webb every day didn’t seem so bad.” Her Chinese jokes, TV show recommendations, and constant support will be missed as she moves to the east coast to attend Babson College. But, in case you begin to suffer from any withdrawals from her self-deprecating and slightly inappropriate humor, just keep an eye out for her at the nearest Din Tai Fung.
