ATLANTA, GA - KAVI VU
		KAVI VU Kavi Vu is a senior at the University of Georgia studying Photojournalism/Magazines and is aspiring to one day have her words and photos work together to make a difference.

She tries to preserve her culture as best she can and hopes to be a role model for those who are ashamed of their own. She believes that Asians don't all have to be doctors or mathematicians to become products of their environment. She encourages using the right side of the brain even if strict parents discourage it.

HOUSTON, TX - MYLYN GRACE RAMOS
		MYLYN GRACE RAMOS An aspiring violinist, Mylyn Grace Ramos takes pride in the vision for her music: creating an experience that takes the listener into the heart of harmonious sounds. Starting her violin studies at age nine, Ramos quickly developed a fond love for both her instrument and the music that emanated from it. Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, it’s not surprising that a plethora of musical influences inspire her playing. From Mozart to mariachi and Beethoven to the Beastie Boys, her eclectic tastes and constant desire to push the performance envelope has helped shape her style. Her biggest influence, however, is the deep tie she has with her Filipino culture. While taking pride in her extensive classical training, she has recently branched out to experiment with violin freestyle and pop covers. When not performing, she enjoys free writing, reading, spending time with family and making people laugh. Website: http://www.mylyngraceviolin.com
