Nishka is a senior at Interlake High School, and has loved math since elementary school. She has qualified for the AIME 4 times, for Math Prize for Girls several times, and received a distinguished honor roll for the AMC 12. She also enjoys programming, and in both, her favorite parts are feeling the eureka moments and the satisfaction of a clean solution. Other hobbies of hers include puzzling (both feeling confused and doing puzzles), launching flaming projectiles, and reading and writing.

Rohan is a junior at Lakeside School and has participated in math competitions like the AMC and Mathcounts since 6th grade, garnering distinctions multiple times on the AMC 10, DHR on the AMC 8, and what would have been the State countdown round in Mathcounts (were it not for COVID). When not doing math, you can find him attempting to ace his opponents at tennis tournaments, building science projects, coding, studying for physics competitions, or stirring up controversy at MUN debates.

Joyce Huang is a junior at Redmond High School. She won an Honorable Mention at the 2023 USAJMO. Joyce enjoys math because Joyce enjoys joy and math makes Joyce rejoice. Joyce also enjoys playing the oboe (which everyone knows is obviously the best instrument in the world), as well as the piano, cello, flute, alto saxophone, trumpet, and hopefully the lituus someday.

Immanuel is a sophomore at Lakeside School. He is a 3x USAJMO qualifier, 4x AIME qualifier, and (somehow) placed 17th individually at ARML recently. One thing about math competitions that Immanuel appreciates is the community he can find through them. In his free time, Immanuel enjoys reading manga, listening to music, and playing chess.

Alex is a sophomore at The Overlake School who has been passionate about math since elementary school. He has qualified for AIME multiple times and enjoys participating in any sort of mathematical competition. Outside of math, Alex also competes in robotics and debate.

Outside of math, she enjoys any kind of board sport (snowboarding, skateboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, probably fireboarding if it existed), playing guitar, and annihilating people at volleyball. Here’s a lame fact about her: if she was born three hours later, she would be three years old!

Eric Yee is a junior at Henry M. Jackson High School. He has been doing contest math for 3 years now and has qualified for AIME twice. He has been passionate about math since middle school, and believes that the best way to learn math is to work towards solving ever more difficult problems.
