Position: Co-Founder and President
School: Ridgewood High School
Hey! My name is Ellie Kwak, and I’m a sophomore at Ridgewood High School. I’m Korean-American, and in my free time, I love reading, hanging out with friends, and playing volleyball. I’m planning to study sociology and pre-med in college because I’m really interested in how people and health connect. After many long years, I aspire to become a dermatologist! I'm excited to explore how social factors influence health and to one day help people feel confident in their own skin—both physically and emotionally.
