Board of Directors

Hanne

Founder, CEO, Finance Manager

I've always believed that the world can be better, and I'm committed to doing my part to make that happen. I've seen how much people can struggle, how disconnected life can feel, and it's driven me to focus on creating meaningful change.

I love learning, meeting new people, and experiencing moments that challenge how I see the world. A quote I live by is, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." It reminds me that even the smallest actions can create impact and that we all have the power to contribute to something greater, no matter our circumstances.

For me, it's not just about solving problems, it's about creating moments of hope, connection, and growth. That's what drives me every single day.

Shikha

Co-Founder, Tech Lead, Content Manager,

Hi, I’m Shikha! I’m a junior studying the IB curriculum and absolutely love diving into all things computer science. I’m a regular at hackathons—they’re such an exciting way to challenge myself and learn something new. I’m based in India and hope to major in computer science, probably in the U.S., where I can explore even more opportunities in tech. When I’m not coding or brainstorming, you’ll usually find me on the tennis court or curled up watching a good movie.

One quote I live by is: "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." – Steve Jobs.

I’m always up for new challenges, meeting like-minded people, and exploring what’s possible!

I quote I live by is "In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety." -Abraham Maslow

Rebecca

Co-Founder, HR Lead

Hello! I am from the U.S. My hobbies are to draw and dance. I think that coding could be a good skill to learn.

Jasmine

Co-Founder, Content Manager, HR Manager

Hello! I'm Jasmine, and I have a wide range of interests, from playing guitar and sewing to writing and, of course, coding. I like to think of myself as someone whose hobby is learning—if something catches my attention, I can easily spend an entire day focusing on it! Currently, my dream career is either to become a computer science teacher or an ASL interpreter.

One of my favorite quotes, and one that I think describes me is: “When you fail, know that your past is anonymous to the world, so you might as well go about life as if you’ve had a good day.” – Karl Kristian Flores

Mieka Wiles

Co-Founder, Technical Lead

Hello! I hail from Jamaica, the land of wood and water. My hobbies consist of drawing, reading, gaming and I would like to get into pottery making someday. Currently I am studying French, but I seek to attain fluency in Spanish and German in the near future. I aspire to be someone who encourages others to be better and to present their authentic selves without guilt and shame. My preferred option for future professions is to be a front-end developer or a software developer. Psychology, Gender studies, astrology, and space are other topics that a I have a burning passion to understand and explore. It was nice meeting you!
