Who We Are

Hey! My name is Min Sung Ellie Kim, and a fun fact about me is that I've lived in three different countries! I was born in Korea, grew up in Vancouver, Canada, and my hometown is currently in New York! I am super passionate about science and education, and hope to someday be a physics teacher. Outside of academics, I am a huge Taylor Swift fan and also love being involved with theatre. Super excited to be a part of this team!

Hi y’all! My name’s Nikhil, and I’m a junior from the Bay Area, California thinking of concentrating in Applied Math-Biology. Outside of the classroom, I’m involved with Alzheimer’s Activists, outreach to low-income areas in Providence, and sporadically the table tennis club. I love playing tennis, reading, and working with animals (chuckwallas are my absolute favorite). My goals for the near future are spending more time in nature and getting involved with mathematical or computational biology research. I can’t wait to explore science with y’all!

Hi! I’m Bobby Zhu and I’m a sophomore from LA, California planning to study biomedical engineering. Along with BSP, I am part of a science journal club and some other fun activities I like to do include running, playing basketball, spinning eggs with my roommate, and having late night conversations. I’m so excited to be y’all’s tutor! Can’t wait to meet you!

Hello hello! I’m Bella Malick, a sophomore from Dallas. I’m not quite sure what I will major in yet, but I’m pretty interested in biology and computer science right now, and I hope to pursue scientific research in the future! I love teaching and interacting with kids, so I’m also involved in Brown’s elementary after school mentorship program :) aside from that, I spend almost all of my free time crocheting stuffed animals and watching either Avatar or The Dragon Prince (highly recommend!!). I can’t wait to teach more fun lessons with BSP and meet all of you guys!

Hi! My name is Naya and I'm a sophomore concentrating in chemistry on the pre-med track. I grew up in New York City, and in my spare time I love to sing, play guitar, and go running. Outside of BSP, I am an active member of Model UN, and can often be found drinking tea with friends or working out in the gym. I'm so excited to meet everyone!

Hey everyone! I’m Kyoungmin (I go by Kris!) and I’m a sophomore from Wisconsin (a true cheesehead through and through), studying Biochemistry and Science, Technology, and Society. Outside of BSP, I help organize TEDxBrownU conferences and conduct viral genomics research. In my free time, I love to play cello and tennis, and am always on the lookout for new restaurants and cafes to try out! Excited to meet y’all soon! 

Hello! My name is Moe and I’m from Vancouver, Canada and Beijing, China. I’m planning to concentrate in physics but am interested in economics as well. Outside of BSP, I love to run with the Brown Running Club , bake desserts, and eat Chobani flip yogurts. I’m super excited to meet everyone!

Hey everyone! My name is Ava Steger and I'm a freshman from Fort Collins (very small town) Colorado! My main interests are Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology and Indigenous Studies. I'm involved in the Girls Gains Lifting club at Brown, and I play tennis and dive. I love, love, love indie music and rainy weather. I'm super excited for this year at BSP!

Hi everybody! My name is Sam Salseda, and I’m a sophomore pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, but I crossed the country to attend Brown. I am passionate about making Computer Science education more accessible, and in my free time, I like to explore the outdoors and write Yelp reviews about French toast. See you soon!

Hi, my name is Khoi! I am a first-year student from Plymouth, MN interested in computational biology. Outside of BSP, you’ll find me trying to keep up with the Brown running club, playing piano, or juggling with my Chinese yo-yos. My favorite science activities are dissections, especially for invertebrates, and I hope BSP does one in the near future. Looking forward to meeting you all!
