KIN Tufts
2024-2025
Veronica Cabeza de Vaca
Chapter Director
Hi, my name is Veronica Cabeza de Vaca and I’m a senior at Tufts studying biopsychology and Russian language & cultural studies. I’m continuing my role as co-chapter director and I joined KIN because I was looking for opportunities to work with the local community. I also love getting to work with the kids and teach in the classrooms! I think KIN is a great program empowering kids to make healthy and fun choices with their food! In my free time I enjoy cooking, reading, and spending time with my friends.
Rama Hamzaoui
Education Director
Hi everyone! My name is Rama Hamzaoui and I’m currently the director of education. I’m a senior at Tufts studying biochemistry and community health, planning to pursue medical school in the future (and hopefully pediatrics later :) ). My favorite thing about KIN is being able to communicate the importance of sustainable eating habits in an interactive way, while watching the children come back excited for more every week! In my free time I like to read and watch comfort shows.
Juna Hatta-Langedyk
Finance Director
Hi! My name is Juna and I’m currently the Treasurer. I’m a sophomore at Tufts majoring in Biology. I love being a part of KIN because I think learning about healthy eating habits is valuable for a lifetime. It’s a special experience to see how excited the kids get when engaging with KIN materials and activities. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and going to the gym!
Riley Soehnlein
Operations Director
Hi, my name is Riley and I’m a junior majoring in community health with the intention of going to dental school! I’ve been involved with KIN since my freshman year, and am currently the operations manager. I love KIN because it bridges Tufts with the broader Somerville/Medford community and promotes food literacy among the local youth. Throughout my involvement, I have been able to foster many meaningful relationships with the students and can see how they will carry these lessons into their adulthood. When I’m not helping out with KIN, I enjoy drawing, going for walks, and doing yoga!
