Ruby Kosek (Junior, at Tamalpais High School) is a passionate advocate for social justice, environmental conservation, and civic engagement, whether through law, poetry, or politics. She competes on award-winning slam poetry and mock trial teams and interns with an organization dedicated to exonerating the wrongfully convicted and sharing their art and poetry with the public. She also campaigns to energize young voters and grows organic fruit and vegetables to donate to local food banks. To recharge, Ruby immerses herself in nature, kayaking on rivers and hiking up mountains. She finds freedom and power in language and believes that poetry is one of the most honest forms of communication.
