Founder

Hello! My name is Stefani Naydenova, and I’m the founder of Teen Future. I am a senior from Sofia, Bulgaria, interested in aerospace engineering and neuroscience. I founded this project to help talented students around the world gain access to more educational resources and reach their full potential. I am a firm believer in everyone having the chance to educate themselves and chase their dreams. I’m hopeful this project continues to grow and to inspire students.

My name is Sebastian Castro, and I’m from the Dominican Republic. I’m a senior interested in helping other teens with college applications while impacting my community. In my country, teens can’t easily find free educational projects like this, so I decided to be part of the development of Teen Future.

Hello everyone! 大家好! I am Raymond Zhang and I am a senior! I have a very complex life journey and I call home Nanjing, China, Bentonville Arkansas, and Xuzhou, China. I am interested in Psychology, Neuroscience, and Medicine. I thought it would be great to share my knowledge to others and encourage more people to step out into the unknown to learn. That’s why I decided to join in our educational program and I hope to influence more and more people in the world.

Charles Ellis is a senior who attends high school in Connecticut, United States. He loves to make puzzles and contraptions with cardboard, popsicle sticks, and other household objects. Needing one summer to keep the fish fed, he built a Ferris wheel-like mechanism powered by an Arduino to dispense an egg carton of food each morning while he was away.

Hello! My name is Aleksandar Naydenov. I am a freshman from Sofia, Bulgaria. I am interested in math, physics, different kinds of sports such as volleyball, tennis and swimming. I want to take part in the Teen Future project because this is a great opportunity for me to help the overall education of many countries. I hope to make the life of many passionate and extraordinary students better and give them the materials, knowledge and opportunities they deserve.

Hi, I’m Ali—short for Alexandra. I’m currently a ninth grader in Sofia, Bulgaria. I’m passionate about music, especially playing the piano, and I enjoy staying active in my free time. I also have a love for astronomy and recently developed a strong interest in debate. I’ve decided to take part in Teen Future because I’ve always felt anxious whenever the topic of choosing my future university comes up, especially since I realize how little information I have about my academic options. It’s reassuring and exciting to know that students like me will have some extra help when having to face such a significant decision. After a rather uneventful summer, I’m excited to join Teen Future, where I look forward to supporting a meaningful project and connecting with amazing new people.
