Our Team

Founder
Roselyn Bi
Through coaching refugee youth at a summer soccer camp and tutoring refugee students, I realized an often-overlooked need: support for the social-emotional wellbeing of newly arrived immigrant youth—and that’s how Tulip’s Promise was born. In my free time I enjoy biking, spending time with family and friends, and occasionally performing at local comedy clubs.

Program Co-Director
Meerub Malik
I joined Tulip’s Promise because, as an immigrant with parents who were unfamiliar with the U.S. education system, I had to navigate everything on my own. I want to help make that journey easier for others. With Tulip’s Promise, students can gain a better understanding of the system in a way that feels accessible, empowering them to succeed rather than feel lost or isolated. I’m passionate about sewing, and in my free time, I enjoy reading and baking.

Marketing Director
Anita Ogbeide
To me, Tulip’s Promise is about creating a student led initiative that is proactive in support the care of child refugees. I joined because I saw an organization with an interest that deserved to be shared and appreciated. My passion is helping my community. My experience in volunteering and leading clubs like Red Cross and Key Club has honed my ability to not only organize and execute campaigns but also to inspire and mobilize others towards a common goal. I am confident I can develop and implement compelling marketing strategies that highlight the profound positive difference this organization makes, ultimately increasing engagement and support for the vital services provided to those in need.

Design Co-Director
Anna Wu
The aim of Tulip’s Promise is to help vulnerable youth and foster a community of togetherness and compassion; being a part of this team to help reach that end goal means a lot to me as a student looking to see that change in my own community. In my free time I love to dance, draw, and play with my cat.
