"I am the co-founder of Kids Inspire Difference. I am from Phoenix, Arizona, and am in the 10th grade at Phoenix Country Day School. In my free time, I compete in Speech and Debate, play tennis, volunteer for various charity groups including National Charity League, SWIFT Youth Foundation, and Girl Scouts. I also enjoy playing piano, biking with friends, and playing with my dog Bailey. As the daughter of Iranian immigrants, I am especially passionate about advocating for issues concerning Middle-Eastern immigrants in the US. I hope to create a platform for the next generation of leaders to connect, collaborate, and take action!"

In my free time, I love playing piano and saxophone. I am the leader of The Treble Makers, a band comprised of three teens, that raise money for KID. I am also a Boy Scout, soon to be Eagle Scout. Through KID’s growing team, I have enjoyed meeting new people from across the world. I hope to inspire and educate like-minded youth to amplify our voice. We are teens but we are not powerless!"
