Maggie Yao, Director of Fundraising and Outreach

Maggie is currently a senior attending Canyon Crest Academy. Her love of science began at eight years old when she was fascinated by a lightbulb and how brightly it shone. Foolishly, she touched it and burned her finger for a week, but it lit (pun intended) a desire to learn more about the world around her, though perhaps much less painfully (do not try what she did). She loves mathematics and regularly participates in competitions as well as enjoys learning languages and teaching students of all different backgrounds. In her free time, she loves playing the piano (a little too much if her parents have anything to say about listening to "My Heart Will Go On" for the thousandth time). She's excited to meet everyone and hopes that they'll have the best time.
