Board Members

Ryan Tseng (President)
Ryan is currently a senior in the BA/BS-MD program majoring in Biology. His first encounter with Ecosystem Arts was an initial pilot event at Children’s Hospital where he was in charge of setting up Rumble Bots. The aim was to engage a broad range of children from kindergarteners to high schoolers who would otherwise have a limited exposure to STEM programs. By bringing in diverse activities directly to Children’s Hospital and to patients who were confined to their rooms, he discovered his passion for education. In his free time he enjoys motorcycling, biking, and cave diving.

Shamik Bhat (Vice President)
Shamik is currently entering his senior year at CU Denver, and is engaging in healthcare through pursuits in the biological sciences and political science. Exposure to the healthcare field throughout his life has inspired him to give back to the community in the same way he was once treated - with compassion and education. Educational gaps can take years to  bridge,  and he is determined to preventing these from forming in pediatric healthcare.

Volunteers

Evan Tseng
Evan is a senior at Fairview High School in Boulder, Colorado. Evan has found the joy of volunteering at the North and Main campus of CHCO and is starting the first Ecosystem Arts high school chapter. He will be entering the engineering field and is applying to CU Boulder's Engineering Program. 
Shlok Rathi
​Shlok is a junior at CU Denver majoring in biology on a pre-medical track. Growing up in both rural and suburban areas, he witnessed discrepancies in quality of teaching and learning between rural schools and urban/suburban schools, as well as the limited resources available to rural communities. These discrepancies can lead to inadequate preparation for higher education, and his goal is to eliminate them.   
Haydee Ramirez
Haydee is currently a sophomore at CU Denver majoring in Biochemistry on a pre-med track. Her passion for the physical sciences and learning fuels her motivation for educating children in hopes that they too will find joy in STEM. She recognizes that developing STEM curriculum can be difficult and strives to provide patients with interactive and fun methods that will bridge the educational gap they face with long-term care. Overall health, fitness, and sports are things that Haydee enjoys doing in her spare time.
