Our Board Members

Hello everyone, I am Rhythm and I am looking forward to serving the Young Minds Eye (YME) organization as the Chair of Board this year. I have been involved with YME since its incorporation and currently working on growing our social media and website presence along with fundraising efforts within the community. Having immigrated to Canada when I was 9 years old, I have had my share of problems trying to settle in and find a place for myself within the Canadian education system and know a little extra support can go a long way. YME’s mission resonates with me personally and motivates me to keep working towards change everyday. My interests involve reading, cooking new cuisines and exploring the nature around me!

Hi everyone, my name is Tina and I am so excited to continue serving as the Chair of In-branch Expansion this year. I am looking forward to growing both our Talk Buddies and Young Minds Academy Program. Coming from a developing country, I am always passionate about creating opportunities for future generations to learn and be successful. With our mission of YME, I hope we continue growing strong and helping more students in the near future. On the side, I work most of the time, but during my downtime, I enjoy going for a walk, collecting leaves during the fall and playing with the snow. You just need to dress yourself well enough, so you can enjoy the beautiful view of nature.

Srijan is currently the Chair of Outbranch at Young Minds Eye (YME), a role he is taking on for the first time. In this position, he works closely with the outreach team and the social media team. Srijan is completing his Bachelor’s degree in Environmental and Sustainability Science at Concordia University, Montreal, and is in his final year of studies. With a passion for both teaching and research, he plans to pursue a career in academia, though music is a personal passion that he enjoys outside of his academic and professional pursuits.

Hello everyone, I am Jewel, and I am excited to continue serving as the YME advisor for a second year. I firmly believe that education has the power to change the world (yes, echoing the wise words of Nelson Mandela), but I also recognize that not everyone has equitable access to it. I look forward to supporting the Help Young Minds team with insights that will help us advance our mission. I love being with my loved ones and being one with nature.
