Meet our team
Leslie Campos Quispicusi Founder and president Hello! I'm Leslie, a sophomore at Northwest High School. Over the years, I've always had a passion for helping others, and I've dedicated my time to volunteering which has allowed me to accumulate over 100 hours, and even get a county-wide award for my service! In addition, I've been a teaching assistant at an elementary school, I've tutored in various subjects, and have been a peer buddy at an elementary school for kids with disabilities for more than two years. These experiences have all allowed me to grow, and learn to ensure your student is getting the best possible service. In my free time, I also enjoy playing volleyball, and watching movies with my family. With that being said, I'm looking forward to meeting you all! Erica Wu Director of communications and secretary Hi! My name is Erica Wu and I am a junior at Northwest High School. I’m an executive officer of the Social Studies Honor Society at school and exploring more leadership positions. I’m extremely passionate about work, love interacting with kids, and am so excited for this organization! In addition, I work really well with people. In fact, I volunteer at an elderly daycare! In the future, I hope to work in the medical field. In my free time, I usually garden, knit, and bake :) Riya Shah Tutor/group overseer Hey! My name is Riya Shah and I am currently a junior at Northwest High School. Over the years, I have taken part in roles that advocate for positive change in the lives of the youth and elders. I have founded a club at my school in which we educate high schoolers on intergenerational programming. Also, being an officer in clubs such as UNICEF and X-STEM, and an ambassador for Arts-N-STEM4Hearts has given me the opportunity to work with many different kids and develop the necessary skills to contribute to this organization. I enjoy listening to music, spending time with family and friends, and travelling. I believe that this organization will allow me to continue making a positive impact in the community. I look forward to working with everyone and helping this organization grow! |
Janet Ruan CO-VICE PRESIDENT and Lesson Plan Coordinator Hey everyone! I’m Janet Ruan and I’m currently a junior in the Academy of Biotechnology at Northwest High School. I’ve always found a passion in helping the community and it’s become such a large part of my life. I’m currently involved in a community nonprofit localglobalorg, which initiates grassroots projects in small communities. Also, being the officer of a few clubs including Medfutures, Red Cross, and Stemillions, has allowed me to develop strong communication, time management, patience and organization skills. From tutoring at a local center for over 2 years, being in advanced classes in elementary, middle and high school, and teaching a toddler sunday school class for over four years, I’m well equipped and experienced for helping your student! Outside of all this, I love to run, play piano, and try new recipes :) Nevertheless, I’m more than excited to start this initiative and meet everyone!

I also help aid a mental health organization in Montgomery County, and I am hoping to help expand this organization along with the other officers! I’m extremely passionate about the work I do, I get along with all types of people, and I make sure I’m always organized! At school, I love all my classes especially math or any science related courses, since I'm always hoping to challenge myself as I am extremely work driven. In my free time, I like to bake, take walks, dance, watch Netflix, and spend time with my family. All in all, I’m ecstatic to get to know everyone and can’t wait to see how far we all go!
