Hi there! My name is Vivian, and I’m currently a senior at University High School. I am the founder and president of the founding branch of Skin Wellness for ALL. I started this organization in early 2023, during my sophomore year, inspired by my personal experience with different skin issues, from urticaria to acne. These challenges affected my confidence and limited my activities, and I noticed that there were no clubs or organizations in my community focused on raising awareness about skin health. This realization drove me to create Skin Wellness for ALL, aiming to highlight the importance of our skin—the largest organ in the body—and educate others on caring for it. Additionally, I was moved by the struggles of children with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare and painful skin condition. This organization also seeks to support these marginalized communities and advocate for research and resources to improve their lives.

​Hi, my name is Ainsley Najafzadeh and I am currently a senior at Arcadia High School. I've had an interest in dermatology since middle school, as I have dealt with many skin related issues myself. I hope to major in microbiology in college and attend medical school after graduation in order to fulfill my dreams of becoming a derm. I am the publicity manager of the Arcadia Quill, which is Arcadia High School's school newspaper. I also enjoy running, as I run varsity track & field. Something interesting about me is that I love bunnies!

Hey! My name is Dima and I am a second year Kinesiology student at McMaster University.  I have been interested in medicine and skin related health since high school. I’m interested in dermatology and skin health because I’ve always struggled with my own skin and I enjoy learning about the variety of things that can affect it as well as skincare products (I <3 k-beauty). I’m currently aiming on attending medical school in Canada (aiming for UofT), but I may think about applying abroad as well. Specifically, I’m interested in becoming either a Cardiologist, Dermatologist, or Psychiatrist. At my school, I’m currently apart of 3 other extracurriculars. Two of them are related to my program and one of them is purely recreational. A fun fact about me is that I CANNOT live without music. I’m always listening to something no matter what. These days I’m really into k-rnb, and lately I’ve been looping ‘What 2 Do’ by Dean and ‘H.S.K.T.’ by Leehi!
