Hi! I'm a junior at Princeton High School. I like to dance, watch Netflix, and spend time with friends. I'm glad to contribute to AJA because through the organization I speak for my Asian culture and at the same time, I get the opportunity to further research political activism.

Hi! I'm a junior at Bergen County Academies in NJ. I love to bake, play the ukulele, and listen to music. I'm very passionate about political activism and I'm so glad to be a member of AJA, where I have the opportunity to voice my opinions and learn more about my own culture, all while educating others as well. I hope to continue writing articles as part of this team and promote inclusivity and diversity in our communities. 

Hi! My bio is coming soon...
