FOUNDER & PRESIDENT

Hi, I’m Emma! Two years ago, I started SPARK, an initiative on a mission to empower young girls to discover their purpose and unlock their potential in the field of STEM. I am currently a senior in high school at Greenwich Academy and very passionate about all things science. I especially love Biology and Computer Science. Through SPARK, I hope to share my passion for these subjects and make a difference in bridging the education gap.
