    David Kramer-Fried, an enthusiastic college student, is deeply immersed in studying public health with a specialization in epidemiology. Raised in the vibrant community of Boston, he enjoyed a childhood rich with outdoor activities, a stark contrast to today's tech-dominated environment. This exposure to active, outdoor life profoundly shaped his social skills and decision-making capabilities. David is an ardent believer in preserving traditional values and the benefits of outdoor activities. He advocates for more natural, unstructured play, which he views as crucial for development. Each year, he looks forward to trips with his family to destinations like Palo Alto and Maine's picturesque coastlines, reinforcing his preference for tangible experiences over virtual simulations. Education has also played a pivotal role in David's life, particularly connecting him with his Jewish roots. After a stint in public schools, he transitioned to a private Jewish school, which helped him forge strong ties within his community and deepen his cultural identity. Nowadays, David is proactive in combating antisemitism and promoting cultural understanding across diverse American communities, advocating for education and highlighting the similarities and differences among cultures. David's love for the outdoors was sparked during middle school when he took up backpacking and rock climbing. These hobbies have allowed him to appreciate America's varied landscapes, from the rocky shores to the expansive plains. He has participated in rock climbing competitions and co-founded a rock climbing club, which has been instrumental in building a community of like-minded adventurers. Moreover, David has a plethora of hobbies that enrich his life, from his love of travel, particularly his emotional return trips to his birthplace, Guatemala, to his fascination with automobiles. He takes great pleasure in exploring the evolution of cars, from the classics of the 1960s to today's high-performance vehicles, often engaging with video tutorials on car maintenance and restoration. Another significant interest of David's is the craft of brewing beer, where he combines his scientific acumen with his creative instincts. He enjoys every aspect of brewing, from selecting the perfect ingredients to controlling the brewing temperature. David Kramer-Fried is committed to his studies in public health, aiming to make a meaningful impact while continuing to explore and embrace his diverse interests and hobbies.
