I am a junior in high school currently with high honors grades. I am an ambitious young leader with a passion for languages and cultural connections to make a positive social impact. I was fortunate to be chosen as the first youth ambassador for The Peace Studio (based in New York City, United States) helping to bridge divides and connect with youth to break stereotypes. I am currently working with The Peace Studio to create their youth ambassador program to help encourage and build youth engagement to promote peace. I have created EvanWorldwide.com, a platform for young people to come together from around the world, getting to know each other, sharing culture and creating ideas about how to make the world a better place. I love to document my travels and create videos and shorts to highlight and bring accurate representation of different cultures. My Podcast Evan Worldwide Global Youth Perspectives features young leaders around the world talking about conflict, culture and cuisine. I am currently in a high school social entrepreneur class through the University of Pennsylvania, and I am creating short documentaries on global youth perspectives highlighting culture and cuisine. I recently won a Silver Anthem Award as a young leader of the year, bringing awareness to humanitarian action and services. I have also just been nominated for a Webby award for my video highlighting the Refugee food festival in Paris, France. When I was 11 years old, I was a contestant on MasterChef Junior USA and I made 6th place on the show. I still love to cook and learn about other cultures through food. I continue cooking and have raised over 100,000 USD for different non-profit organizations
