PRESIDENT &

FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Julia! I’m currently a junior at Centennial High School in Ellicott City, Maryland. As both a passionate mental health advocate and a loving granddaughter, I created the HeartWise Project to promote compassion and communication between generations. In my free time, I love playing the cello and baking.

VICE PRESIDENT

Hi! My name is Joyce and I'm a sophomore student at Thomas S. Wootton High School in Maryland. I enjoy baking desserts, writing poetry, and hanging out with my friends and family. I love being a part of the HeartWise Project team!

SECRETARY

Hi my name is Adria Weaver and I am the secretary of the HeartWise project. In my free time I love to dance and hang out with friends. I look forward to helping HeartWise with its advocacy as well as serving our community.

OUTREACH DIRECTOR

Hi, I'm Jasmine! I'm a junior at Centennial High School and in my spare time, I love writing and just about anything that has to do with creativity or color, like coloring or painting. I'm really excited to spread positive vibes to seniors, even if it's all online (for now!) This organization is all about being kind and brightening days for other people. Those things are so important nowadays, and hopefully we will be able to expand even more and include more activities!
