About

Hi there!

My name is Miyo Macario, and I’m a freshman at UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) majoring in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics.

I dedicate my studies to strengthening public health systems and improving outcomes for vulnerable populations around the world.

Over the years, I have discovered that my deepest motivations come from three places: learning, advocacy, and creative expression. These threads come together through my work as the founder of Shared With Care, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports underserved global communities through school supply drives, tutoring services, and efforts to expand access to STEM education.

I also serve as a Save the Children Student Ambassador, where I have advocated for Farm Bill protections and led campaigns around child nutrition. These are experiences that have shaped my belief in equitable opportunities for all children, regardless of circumstance.
​
Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me and my passions. I look forward to sharing more about my academic and extracurricular projects with you.
