Andrew Kim

Andrew is currently a senior at Issaquah High School with developing interests in chemical and environmental engineering. His passion for sustainability stems from his experiences with traveling a lot by airplane as a nationally competitive fencer. His future goals are to bridge the fields of chemistry and environmental engineering to provide innovative solutions for a cleaner world. He has done research on using surfactants to remove pesticide residue to improve the health of humans and the environment. With Sustainability Ambassadors, Andrew feels empowered to better his community by leading by example, and he is currently working with his team to push various campaigns such as having the Issaquah School District pass a sustainability policy. Outside of SA, Andrew is a captain for his high school’s swim and dive team, volunteers for a local organization dedicated to helping neurodiverse children and provides free tutoring services to support his community. In his free time, Andrew enjoys long bike rides, tending to his local community garden, and writing poetry.
