Meet Us

My name is Vinay Prathap, and I am a rising junior at North Allegheny Senior High School. I am deeply interested in the intersection of health and the environment. I’ve had the opportunity to explore this passion through various experiences, including placing first in the Health Education event at HOSA, participating in research and shadowing programs, and interning with the EcoLeader Academy, where I’ve worked to understand and positively impact environmental health. 

I'm Rebecca Zhao, and I am a rising senior at North Allegheny Senior High School. In my past, I've received 4 years of first place at the PJAS State science fair competition under the category of ecology, which led to my interest and passion in environmental justice and research. I've also worked with children with disabilities at Friday Nite Kids Camp and The Caring Place, a center for grieving children. My past experiences have furthered my knowledge and passion towards making health and the environment accessible worldwide.
