    Meet the Founders

    I’m a high school student with a range of interests and a passion for continuous learning. Always eager to challenge myself, I compete in both soccer and track, valuing the discipline and teamwork that sports require.

    ​

    After competing in cross country throughout middle school, I joined my high school's Track and Field team where I have primarily competed in 200-meter and 400-meter events. Sophomore year, I ran at state in the 4 x 400-meter relay for my high school team where we placed second in the state championship. I have competed at the varsity level since freshman year as an active leader in the program. Along with Track, I also play with three different soccer teams throughout the year: high school, club, and a summer national program. ​

    Outside of school and training, I enjoy spending time outdoors and reading.​Volunteering is another important part of my life.  As an animal lover with two dogs, I help out at the local animal shelter, offering care and companionship to animals in need. I also work with elementary-aged kids in a running club and volunteer at the Community House, supporting initiatives that benefit others.

    Co-Founder

    I’m a high school student with interests in leadership and athletics, and I’m always looking for ways to challenge myself. Through tennis and soccer, I’ve developed a strong sense of discipline and teamwork.

    ​

    Throughout high school, I’ve competed on the Hinsdale Central tennis team, where I’ve played at the JV1 level and currently serve as a captain. Alongside tennis, I play competitive soccer year-round through club and summer league teams, continuing to develop my skills at a high level.

    ​

    Outside of athletics, I serve as Co-President of The Community House Junior Board, helping organize events and support local programs. I’m passionate about engineering and enjoy sharing my love of building with younger students through Curious Builders, helping them explore engineering through hands-on projects.
