MEET THE BOARD:
Greetings!
My name is Annabelle Balkuvvar and I am the president and the Board Director of Arts and Culture for Face Our Reality. Along with Irem, we created this organization simply in the means of helping the youth find themselves and their place in the world. I have been playing piano for 12 years and I play a variety of styles including classical, Turkish, and Jazz. I have been studying music production for many years and I hope to continue my love of music to other musicians! Music is my true passion and I am so excited to share my talents and help children find the same.
Hello!
My name is Irem and I am the co-founder and the Board Director of STEM for Face Our Reality. Along with Annabelle, we cofounded this organization to bring young minds together in hopes of inspiring the leaders of tomorrow. I dream of a future where any person can strive for a career in STEM! Personally, my love for this field originated from my interest in researching renewable energy and preserving our environment. Eventually, I wish to form a team that aspires to bring about change in their communities, while also expanding their knowledge through working with their peers!
Hey!
I'm the Secretary, Editor, and Board Director of Politics and Legislation. With my position at FOR, I wish to inform young adults about current events going on all over the world and what they can do to help those in need. I strive to discuss real, unbiased news in order to achieve bipartisan political support for reform. I'm President of Spanish Honor Society, Founder of The Law Society, as well as assistant captain of my debate team in which I compete in congress and have placed 1st state-wide. I am the Editor-in-Cheif of my schools newspaper, The Bullseye, where I publish and edit several articles monthly. I also intern at my local courthouse and the Florida House or Representatives! Through FOR, I hope to inspire todays teens to no longer solely repost issues on social media, but go out and transform the world one step at a time!
