Zylo Guan

16, St Cuthbert's College, NZ, they/he

Tēnā koutou!! My name is Zylo (Zy for short) and I use the pronouns they/he but any are fine :) I go to St Cuthbert’s College in Auckland, New Zealand and I’m part of the newsletter team. I love all things music - I play the violin and piano and my favourite artist at the moment is Lorde <3 (cute and quirky right). I care a lot about social issues, hence why I decided to join Amplify our Youth. I’m really excited to contribute my voice to this organisation and hopefully, we’ll be able to do some valuable work for our rangatahi (youth). #begaydocrime ;)

Shivi Mehta

14, Alliance Academy for Innovation, GA, she/her

Hi! My name is Shivi Mehta, my pronouns are she/her. I’m 14, and I attend Alliance Academy for Innovation in Cumming, Georgia. At AOY, I’m a part of the newsletter team. I love to read (my current favorite book is “Red, White, and Royal Blue”), and I love cats (they’re better than dogs, I don’t make the rules). Aside from all of that, I do quite a bit of advocacy work and I absolutely love it. I am a firm believer in the power of youth voices, which is why I’m incredibly excited to be a part of the AOY team. If you need to contact me, feel free to do so! My email is shmehta067@gmail.com.
