Back to Team

My name is Derek Jiang, a J.D. candidate at Stanford Law School, and I am interested in engaging with and pursuing the intersection of law, technology, and education.

Ever since schools and communities were devastated during Hurricane Harvey in 2017, I realized that I could be doing more to support learning, education, and literacy for the children in the Greater Houston area. A quality education plays a crucial role in developing our next generation to be informed and responsible citizens, and I hope that all students, including those from underprivileged communities, have the opportunity to pursue higher education and a successful future. Being a well-rounded, educated member of society is increasingly important in a modernizing and globalizing world that faces increasingly daunting challenges such as climate change and partisan polarization. I hope to elevate the lives of others so that they too will be able to participate in our national civil discourse and change the world, and now, with BestBridgeToHeart, my team and I can make our dreams of helping kids a reality.
