Meet the Team
Founder, Director or Content Creation
Radhika Pant
​
Hi! My name is Radhika Pant, Founder and Director of Content Creation. I am a junior at the Alabama School of Fine Arts in the math/science department. In addition to my work at Competition Connector, I have co-founded a breast cancer awareness non-profit called To The Fullest Foundation, dedicated to giving individuals everywhere the tools to learn about breast cancer. In addition to this, I work with several other non-profits within the nearby area! Through these pursuits, I realized students often weren't finding the competitions they needed to test their skills at things they were excited about. Competition Connector was started with the goal to help students find and connect to opportunities they would have otherwise not seen for themselves.
Director of Website
Cynthia Liu
​
I’m Cynthia Liu, one of the website developers for Competition Connector. Being a high school student myself, I’m aware of how difficult opportunities can be to find, so I joined this organization in an effort to make competition resources more accessible to students everywhere. Outside of Competition Connector, I am the co-president of a nonprofit community service organization. I regularly volunteer at local food banks, community kitchens, the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, the McWane Science Center, and have also been involved with the 2022 World Games and previous Mercedes-Benz Marathons.
Director of Media & Marketing
Julia Downs
I'm Julia Downs, head of media and marketing for Competition Connector! I've always been passionate about connecting students with opportunities to further their educational and community reach. Outside of Competition Connector, I am the founder of the YMPACT Program (Youth Making Progress and Change Together) which connects students to the resources and mentorship necessary to make a change in their communities by leading and executing community service projects in areas around Alabama. I also started the Girl Powered tutoring program with Radhika to build foundational math and reading comprehension skills in 1st-3rd grade girls in Birmingham City Schools who would otherwise be held back.
