ROME GROWN SPOTLIGHT: This week, we honor RHS C/O '08's Wadrick McCluskey. During his Junior and Senior years, Wadrick served as drum major for the Sound of the Seven Hills. Continuing his passion for music and marching bands, Wadrick went on to the University of Georgia, where he joined the renowned Red Coat marching band.
In addition to his musical pursuits, he majored in Accounting and Spanish. Wadrick's dedication and hard work paid off, as he became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), combining his love for numbers and language proficiency.
He further expanded his horizons by living in Nairobi, Kenya, where he completed an international work assignment—an experience that undoubtedly enriched his perspective and global awareness.
Currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia, Wadrick serves as a corporate accountant for Rivian Automotive, an electric vehicle manufacturer.
Wadrick's involvement extends beyond his professional endeavors. He is a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, and his exceptional achievements have recently earned him a nomination to serve on The University of Georgia's Young Alumni Board for the Terry College of Business.
Congratulations on your achievements, Wadrick!
