Eve (she/her) is a 16-year-old high school senior who has been a vocal advocate for transgender youth since moving to the US from Argentina at age 6. At age 8, Eve engaged her entire school community in her transition journey by delivering a presentation to her fellow students and teachers, followed by a robust Q&A session. Eve made a further impact as a finalist in her school’s Global Design Challenge, presenting on gender equality and anti-bullying. Whether writing, participating in panels, or creating social media content, Eve brings her authentic and unique perspective to inspire others.

Eve is the president of her high school’s bird club and an active member of several other clubs, including Envirothon, which focuses on expanding environmental knowledge, Junior State of America, which engages students in politics, and Heal the Bay, where she serves on the board to focus on beach cleanup efforts. Eve’s advocacy extends beyond her school. She has participated in a roundtable with Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, conducted workshops, and spoken on panels for major corporations like NBC Universal, Intuit, Dell, and the USDA, influencing more inclusive workplace policies.

Recognized as one of GLAAD’s 20 Under 20, Eve has been featured in Teen Vogue and appeared in “Our America: Who I’m Meant to Be,” hosted by Good Morning America’s Gio Benitez, which won a GLAAD award in 2024 for Outstanding TV Journalism – Long-Form. She also contributed to Nike’s “The Future of Belonging” podcast with Janaya Future Khan.

Eve has a deep passion for old films, nature, and the great outdoors. She is Roman Catholic and loves photography, especially 35mm film photography, inspired by her photographer father. Additionally, she enjoys cooking and aspires to work in journalism and reporting. An avid reader of everything from graphic novels to classic literature, Eve works at a queer-owned comic book store. In her free time, she enjoys reading and scouring the beach for interesting shells and sea life.
