Our Team

Junseo Choi

Co-Founder, Co-President, Math Curriculum Director, Head of Planning

My name is Junseo (Eric) Choi, and I view education as a foundation for confidence and opportunity, not just academic success. It has challenged me to question inequality and reflect on using my privileges meaningfully. Personal growth brings a responsibility to contribute to the wider world. While learning has opened doors for me, many students lack basic tools like desks or proper classrooms, which can make or break their motivation. Recognizing this gap, I seek to act out of shared humanity. The Mozambique project embodies my belief that change starts with individual action. By supporting essential educational equipment, I aim to create better learning environments. As Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Though small, I hope our efforts unite to uplift Mozambique, and I’m committed to doing my part.

Sangyoon Kim

Co-Founder, Co-President, Math Curriculum Director, Head of Finance

I am Sangyoon Kim, and I have developed a profound passion for physics and mathematics, drawn to the elegant structure, rigorous logic, and careful reasoning these disciplines demand. Through my own learning journey and experience tutoring younger students, I have come to view education not merely as the delivery of answers, but as the transformative process of shaping how individuals approach learning itself—fostering curiosity, resilience, and independent thinking. This philosophy drives my desire to contribute to the Mozambique project. I hope to work alongside local teachers and students, supporting the creation of sustainable, teacher-centered learning environments that empower educators to guide their students effectively long after our involvement ends. By sharing resources, facilitating teacher training workshops, and co-developing curriculum materials tailored to local needs, I aim to build capacity that promotes lasting educational equity.

Harin Yoo

Co-Founder, Co-President, Science Curriculum Director, Head of Recruitment

My name is Harin (Eileen) Yoo, and I am interested in how fields like biology and economics can help to protect endangered species. When I first arrived in Hawaii for boarding school, I was amazed by the islands’ natural beauty. Each time I saw a new bird or flower, I immediately searched to find its name. My initial fascination turned to worry, though, as I found out how many of those amazing species were endangered. So, I began to get involved in protection efforts. In the future, I hope to design policies combining international relations and environmental law to prevent environmental collapse. Until then, I want to educate as many people as I can about ecology and international policies to inspire further efforts. I’m excited to share my passions with students in the Mozambique project, supporting more hands-on learning in the sciences.

Taeyeon Kim

Co-Founder, Co-President, Science Curriculum Director, Head of Public Relations

Hi, I’m Taeyeon Kim. As a student passionate about neuroscience and psychology, I love to explore the unknown. I believe that by exploring what lies beyond human limitations, we can bring meaningful change to society. I have become deeply interested in the connections between inequality and psychology. Through my studies, I've explored how socioeconomic disparities influence mental health, cognitive development, and emotional resilience. As the Head of International Relations for Youth Edu Visionaries, I hope to achieve the same positive outcomes I work toward in my other projects. Through our Mozambique project, I aim to provide significant positive contributions to international society while challenging others to do the same.

My name is Minji (Reina) Choi, and art is my greatest passion. What started as a simple love for drawing grew into an appreciation for how creativity connects people, communicates ideas, and inspires change. Through art, I have learned not only to express myself but also to deeply understand the world around me. I believe education is just as powerful—it is the ultimate tool for personal growth and social impact. Every student deserves access to opportunities that spark curiosity, build confidence, and help them reach their full potential. Through Youth Edu Visionaries, I want to make education more engaging and accessible. By introducing art as a crucial educational tool, I hope to foster a creative environment where young learners are empowered to dream bigger and make meaningful contributions beyond the classroom.

My name is Chloe In-Seo Na, and I am someone who genuinely enjoys exploring how science can help humanity coexist harmoniously with nature without disrupting our fragile ecosystems. Within Youth Edu Visionaries (YEV), I want to channel this scientific curiosity into a tangible social impact. My goal is to design engaging environmental science and chemistry curricula that challenge students to think sustainably and critically about the world around them. Ultimately, I hope to build a strong, accessible bridge that connects vital scientific knowledge with underprivileged students who might not otherwise have exposure to high-quality resources. I am incredibly thrilled to be part of YEV, and I look forward to empowering the next generation of eco-conscious thinkers and problem-solvers.
