Anatolii is graduating from Binghamton University as a math major this year with the intention of continuing his education at the graduate level. He likes all things topology and algebra, and loves to tackle difficult, mind-boggling problems — the same ones that you'll lose sleep over. Aside from math, he likes to swim, write short stories, and upload videos to his YouTube channel. He has taught talented children math in the past and is excited to share his joy of learning to a new cohort of rising stars.
Tori is a rising junior at Colorado College studying mathematics, economics, and environmental science. She loves to hike, draw (she has a handmade sticker business!), listen to live music, and explore the world—whether that be international traveling or simply walking into a new part of town. Tori has spent the last few summers working at summer camps and is super excited to combine her prior experiences with her passion for math!
Pablo is a 4th year Clinical Psychology doctoral student at Rutgers University where he has specialized in working with marginalized populations with complex trauma.
