Keilani Crespi never thought she would accomplish so much during her four years of high school, and says she doesn't think she could be more grateful for the opportunities that have come her way. She has participated in athletics, choir, and several school programs throughout high school, including the Juanita High School chapter of Safe School Ambassadors, a program which trains students to combat bullying within their school and community environments. Keilani has been deeply interested in the field of education ever since she began volunteering with Lake Washington School District in 2017.

When not in school, during the past few summers and some weekdays, Claire volunteers at the Kirkland Hopelink Food Bank helping to distribute boxes of food to people.
