Our Team
Thank you to all the people who make SEEDS-MC possible.
Sophie Huang
President and Founder
Founding SEEDS
Inspired by her younger sister, who is a part of the special needs community, Sophie Huang founded SEEDS in October of 2021, based in Montgomery County.
A first-hand witness to many inequities individuals with disabilities and their families face, Sophie established SEEDS to increase accessible and inclusive opportunities available in the community for them that can accommodate a variety of symptoms and needs.
Now, SEEDS has established three more independent chapters in Howard County, Maryland, Baltimore County, Maryland, and Minnesota.
Sophie is currently a senior at Richard Montgomery High School, balancing her pursuit towards a future career in neurology with her love for wushu and music.
