Our Team

Nima Naghavi | President

Hi! My name is Nima Naghavi. I am an incoming 3rd year undergraduate student at the University of Houston, majoring in Biochemistry with a minor in Media Production. Over the past 6 years of my life, video editing has been a huge hobby of mine. Ever since entering college, I wanted to use my creative outlet to contribute to the field of healthcare and medicine in a meaningful way. Over my 2nd year of college, I began work on Give the Spotlight, which aimed to do just that.

Parsa Shahen | Secretary

Hello! My name is Parsa Shahen, and I am the co-founder and secretary of Give the Spotlight. I am a first-generation student and a soon-to-be third-year undergraduate. I major in psychology with a minor in pre-law, and I plan to dedicate my education to a future in law. My passions include IRONMAN training, learning about and working on mechanical systems such as cars, and travel. A common theme among my pursuits is dedication and the fortitude to embrace and succeed in new experiences; this is the philosophy I bring to the organization, and I am excited to grow alongside Give the Spotlight and its mission.
