Marileen M.

Marileen Meamari is a sophomore at Valhalla High School. If one were to define her in one word, it would be STEM. This organization has only increased her passion for STEM so thank you AGSS! Marileen has done a TEDx talk about the lack of women in STEM, which has hundreds of views on YouTube. She is part of the BE WiSE program (and has been since 7th grade!) Did 2 years of coaching at AAUW Tech Trek @ UCSD ever since becoming alumni for that program + was on the board for choosing speakers for that program for 2 years. She is a big advocate for climate change and has published many articles on the Medium and is currently part of the White House Sub-Committee working with Council Holly Wilson from the White House all from the program called YCAT. There is also much more! Besides STEM, Marileen enjoys playing tennis and pole vault! She is part of the Girls Tennis Team and T&F Team at her school. However, the things she loves most (besides her family) is sleeping and eating delicious food! :)
