Hey there! My name is Grace Garcia and I am a 15 year old sophomore at Granada Hills Charter Highschool. I plan to study within the realms of architecture when I am older, but I have learned that within every job some type of business skills are needed, since business is everywhere. During my free time I like to draw/ paint, do nail art, and do something active outside like practice football, go on hikes, or play with my dogs, when I am not reading. As the Co- Social Media Director, I am in charge of our instagram and future social media accounts, that show our project's goals and even each of our personalities. The reason I wanted to join this project is to become a larger part of the community, and learn more about finances myself, because knowing about finances can greatly help anyone in the future.

I’m Rajanno Rahim, I go by RJ. I’m currently a junior at Granada Hills Charter with a goal to work in the Fin-Tech industry in the future. Through out the years I’ve grown an interest in investing, the stock market works & achieving financial freedom at a young age. I’m always looking to learn new things related to finance and in joining Financial Freedom I hope to share what I’ve learned and what I continue to learn with my peers.

I am really excited to join this new team and work in a new community.

Hi I’m Paola Alvarado! I am 16 years old and a junior at Granada Hills Charter High School. I enjoy reading poetry and listening to music in my free time as well as going on daily walks. In college I plan on majoring in business management and aspire to be a business consultant. In this project I am part of the research team, we organize the presentations for our future meetings and provide extensive research towards subjects we will be covering. I was originally drawn to this project because of its purpose. I believe everyone deserves the resources necessary to provide aid in how they manage their money.

Hello , I’m Changkhanipa but I also go by Anya. I go to VAAS and I’m currently in senior year. I also love snowboarding and enjoy baking for fun.

Hello everyone, I am 15 years old and am currently attending Cleveland Charter High. I plan on pursing a higher education in politics starting with my undergrad at CSUN, continue with UCLA, and hopefully Harvard Law. In the Financial Freedom Project, I am apart of the Podcast team. I joined to spread the importance of financial proactivity and I hope to apply this in my own lifestyle. I want my efforts to contribute to knowledge of the finance and make it not only accessible, but easy to understand for the members of my community.

I’m super interested in fashion, music, and food! I love styling clothes, making collages, and listening to music. Also, I’m a huge foodie, I love trying out new restaurants and places to eat! I plan to major in business administration, marketing, or a world bachelor in business, hopefully at USC.

I joined this project because of my interest in business, the business knowledge I’ll receive and spread to others, and how perfectly it correlates with my future major! With this project I hope to educate myself, and others, in business and financial literacy because it’s incredibly essential, regardless of your career path.
