Biography
Naomi champions equitable education and accessibility for everyone, and also makes an effort to study financial literacy. In April 2021, she co-founded an all-female student nonprofit, S | KEY, that sold handmade safety keychains with women, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized groups in mind. All of the keychains sold out at the pop-up sale, and 100% of the profit was donated to Stop Street Harassment, Inc.
In her free time, Naomi enjoys singing in her school’s a cappella choir, reading, and writing poetry. A fangirl of Agatha Christie-esque thrillers, she somehow finds herself in the middle of five books at a time. She is a food and drink aficionado who is always up for a boba run. Her number one bucket list item is riding along the French countryside with a fresh baguette in hand.
“I firmly believe that effective communication should be at the forefront of all relationships, whether personal or business-related. With the right resources and a growth mindset, every student can effectively become a leader in all aspects of their lives.”
