Meet Our Team
We are a group of passionate young adults dedicated to empowering new immigrant communities with environmental education.
Jesse Zhong - Founder and President
Hi! My name is Jesse Zhong and I am a high school senior at the Gilman School in Baltimore. I founded EcoHorizons because I have always been passionate about conserving the environment and advocating for climate action, as well as empowering low-income communities in Maryland. I believe in a world where the most pressing issues will be handed down to the young generation, it is imperative that we foster within youth a commitment to environment stewardship.
Sebastian Penn - Vice President
Hi. My name is Sebastian Penn and I’m a senior attending the McLean High School in northern Virginia. I joined EcoHorizons as Vice President because I believe everyone should do their part in the fight against climate change. As a Turkish-American, I am a firm believer in bringing environmental awareness to immigrant communities who do not have access to the same type of education my teammates and I are so lucky to have. It is my job as VP and as a member of this generation to do my best to protect our planet.
Kelsey Chang - Outreach Coordinator
Hi, my name is Kelsey Chang and I am a junior at the Bryn Mawr school in Baltimore, Maryland. I joined EcoHorizons because I am committed to fostering a love for the natural world in young people. Through educating and connecting communities, I hope that we can work towards healing the environment as a collective.
Gabriel Romero - Treasurer
My name is Gabriel Romero, a freshman at the Gilman School in Baltimore. I am dedicated to empowering new immigrant communities through environmental education. As the Treasurer of an organization focused on raising awareness about climate change, I am concerned with the future of our planet and this has inspired me to take action and create a sustainable future for all.
