Meet Our Team
Steve Zhang
Founder & President
Hi, I’m Steve. I am the President of SiliconSmiles4Kids. Currently, I am a junior at the Francis Parker School. My unwavering passion lies in the realm of computers, a field where I have spent countless hours constructing and tinkering with various systems. At the age of 13, I successfully assembled my very first computer, and ever since then, I have tended my technical assistance to friends, classmates and teachers. With SiliconSmiles4Kids, an organization close to my heart, I am eagerly to combine my technical expertise with the power of smiles to make a positive impact on the students in need.

Melanie Yau
Director of Media
Hey! My name is Melanie Yau, and I’m a sophomore attending The Bishop’s School. I’m excited to be the director of Media at SiliconSmiles4Kids! I strongly believe in the importance of communication, and I love helping others. I am currently an editor for the student publication at my school; Journalism has helped me meet and highlight so many new people, and I adapted to my school so much faster because of having knowledge of what events were happening. By donating, we can improve the bridge in technology and communication while helping and making a positive impact on students around the world. I’m looking forward to the upcoming year!
