Advik is a 10th grade student from Missouri. His interest in preparedness began after his grandparents both passed away from heart-related complications that could have been prevented by increased access to CPR training and resources in their rural community. He hopes his time on the national YPC will provide him with additional insight into preparedness and broaden his understanding of potential career pathways in emergency management.
Advik has a demonstrated commitment to community service and has volunteered more than 200 hours of his time to local organizations. As a volunteer at the local library, he organizes a summer reading program to help people increase their literary competence. Advik also dedicates his time to his local temple, assisting in administrative activities and event promotion.
In his free time, Advik enjoys spending time with friends and family. He is an avid soccer player and has played the sport for more than ten years.
