Sophie Wong, George Washington High School
Selected by the Giants Community Fund as our 2025 BAASST Scholar, Sophie Wong exemplifies what it means to lead with purpose, passion, and heart. She is the founder of Mindful Artistry, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting youth mental health through creative expression, and a proven leader in her school community—serving in student government, medical clubs, and even spearheading a Bathroom Improvement Committee to enhance campus wellness.
As a first-generation college student, Sophie’s academic journey is shaped by the sacrifices of her parents, who immigrated from Hong Kong and China in pursuit of a better future. Their resilience inspires her daily—especially as she channels her lived experiences into a growing passion for public health. Sophie is determined to build a more equitable healthcare system and bring compassionate care to underserved communities.
With acceptances to several top colleges, Sophie looks ahead with excitement and ambition—ready to keep learning, keep creating, and keep giving back.
