Tiny Tots Founder Graduates from Stanford University

As Tiny Tots Health Initiative continues to grow, I wanted to take a moment to share a personal milestone. In June 2026, I graduated from Stanford University with a degree in Biology and a minor in Education.

When I founded Tiny Tots Health Initiative in high school, I never imagined how far the organization would come. What began as a small effort to improve pediatric health literacy has grown into a nonprofit that has reached communities across the United States through health literacy cards, educational resources, community partnerships, and our Health Literacy Box program.

This year alone, Tiny Tots has distributed over 100 Health Literacy Boxes, welcomed more than 50 new volunteers, expanded partnerships across multiple states, and continued to develop innovative approaches to helping children and families better understand their health.

While graduating marks the end of my undergraduate journey, it is far from the end of my work with Tiny Tots. Over the next year, I plan to remain in Northern California, where I will be conducting pediatric research at Stanford while preparing for medical school. During this time, I look forward to continuing to grow Tiny Tots, strengthening existing programs, and exploring new ways to advance health literacy and health equity.

To our volunteers, partners, donors, and supporters: thank you. Tiny Tots would not be where it is today without your belief in our mission.

If you are located in Northern California and would like to connect, collaborate, volunteer, or learn more about our work, I would love to hear from you through our contact page.

As we reflect on the first half of 2026, we are incredibly grateful for all that has been accomplished and even more excited for what lies ahead. The future of Tiny Tots is bright, and we look forward to continuing our mission of empowering children and families through health literacy.

Warmly,
