I am Sufee Kathane

A high school senior at Homestead High School in Cupertino, California, interested in quantitatively analyzing environmental and social issues. I spend a lot of time at activities, from speech to environment, and trying my own projects, including building GreenMint, a free curriculum teaching financial literacy through a sustainability lens.

If you have met me through Model UN, Climate Action, FBLA, or any other conferences, I’m so excited to keep in touch! Some of my favorite projects and research resources are linked below for sharing. Feel free to reach out — I would love to hear from you!
