Debbie Zhao

Hey! My name is Debbie and I'm a high school student from Ottawa, Ontario. There's nothing that inspires me more than being able to connect with such a diverse community of students who share my passion for STEAM, youth empowerment, and innovation here at Race to A Cure. In my spare time, I love drawing, painting, playing music, and I also dance competitively outside of school. During such uncertain times, I hope to use my privileges to bring a positive influence on youth when we need it the most. I'm super excited to see what comes next for this amazing initiative!
