Hello! I’m Alisa (axolotl), a first-year bioengineering and computer science major at Pitt supervising Fossils. I’ve done Science Olympiad for 6 years as a team member and captain at Mason, where my favorite events were (and still are) ID events. In my free time, I like to bake, craft, and design. I promise to do my best at hand-grading every fill in the blank and looking forward to writing at the Mason Invite!

Katie is a sophmore at Mason supervising Water Quality and Astrology and has been competing in science olympiad since 8th grade. Her favorite events are herpetology (rip), anatomy, and water quality. she enjoys creating elaborate spotify playlists, watching unhealthy amounts of reality television, and listening to one direction.


Kevin is a senior at Mason supervising Geologic Mapping. He is a lot worse at Minesweeper than Jessica.


Kunal is a current junior supervising Forensics and Ornithology who's super excited to be running Mason's first Invite! He really likes Forensics, Promo, Chem, and Orni. On display to the left is a work of art titled Zoinks (featuring Adhira's hand). When not doing Scioly, he's probably playing viola or not sleeping.

Lisa is junior at Mason High School supervising Write it CAD it. Her favorite events are Forensics, Boomilever and WIDI. A fun fact about Lisa is that she once took her goldfish on vacation in fear that it will starve and then proceeded to forget to bring the fish food.


Hi! I'm Michelle, and I'm a sophomore at Mason supervising Dynamic Planet. I've been competing in Science Olympiad for three years now and do the most random combination of events -- everything from Dynamic Planet to Protein Modeling. In my free time, I like to bake, play the flute, binge shows on Disney+, and drink excess amounts of bubble tea :)


Neel is a junior at Mason HS supervising Detector Building and Code Analysis and has been competing in Science Olympiad since 8th grade. His favorite events are Detector Building, Machines, and Experimental Design! He also loves to play table tennis and soccer, and wants to study computational physics in the future!


Neev is a Junior at Mason HS supervising Write it CAD it and has been competing in Science Olympiad since his Freshman Year. His favorite event is Codebusters. Neev hopes to pursue a career in medicine.


Hi everyone! I’m Nishita, a junior at Mason supervising Fossils, and I’ve been competing in SciOly since 8th grade! I compete in Fossils, Orni, Promo, Sounds, and Expd! In my free time, I like playing tennis, painting, or running with my puppy :)


Rishika is a freshman at Mason HS supervising Disease Detectives, and has been competing in Science Olympiad since 7th grade. Her favorite events are Water Quality, Disease Detectives, and Anatomy & Physiology. Also, a fun fact about Rishika is that she has been competing in Ornithology for the past two years, yet is dead scared of birds :)


Hi, I'm Samvit! I'm a current sophomore at Mason, and I'll be supervising Circuit Lab. I'm currently on my third year of Science Olympiad, specializing mostly in physics events. When exhausted by physics, I spend my time scouring Wikipedia for trivial information about trivial things and occasionally touching my cello.


Hi I'm Sankalp and I'm supervising Machines! I'm a junior at Mason and this is my fourth year doing Science Olympiad. My favorite events are Machines, Circuit Lab and Optics. Hope you enjoy the Machines test!


Steven is a coach for Mason supervising Experimental Design and competed in Science Olympiad for Centerville in 2011-2014. His favorite events are Materials Science and Forensics as well as Physics and Lab events. Steven spends his days working as an Engineer but is happy to be continuing to support Science Olympiad. He also enjoys the technique of cooking everything from Boba to Pasta.


Hello! My name is Snehil and I’ll be supervising Fossils this year. I’ve done scioly for 3 years and Fossils specifically for 2 of those years. I love this event because, in my opinion, it’s a fresh take and conglomeration of various different fields of science. I hope everyone that likes this event just as much as me are able to appreciate the test we’ve made!


Sruthi is currently a first-year at MIT, and competed in Science Olympiad for 6 years at Mason before writing tests and helping run invitationals as an alum (including supervising Chem Lab at Mason Invite!). Her favorite events are Chem Lab, Codebusters, and Forensics (Protein Modeling is a very very distant fourth), and she enjoys singing, drawing, and procrastinating in her free time :P


William is a professional idiot

Yuandi is a junior at Mason HS supervising Anatomy & Physiology and has been competing in Science Olympiad since 8th grade. His favorite events are Anatomy, Codebusters, and Forensics! He can ride his bike and make turns without any hands.


Hola! My name is Yuv Sachdeva and I’m a current senior at Mason High School supervising Designer Genes, as well as one of Mason Science Olympiad’s captains. Science Olympiad has been a big part of my life for the past 6 years, but in my spare time I enjoy playing basketball, cricket, and rocket league. I’ve done designer genes for the past 2 years and am a prospective biology major. I hope you guys have as much fun “at” the Mason Invite as we did planning it!


Hi everyone! My name is Zoe Goldblum and I am a freshman at the Pennsylvania State University studying Immunology and Infectious Disease (supervising Forensics). I’ve been involved with Science Olympiad since 2014, and have competed on both the Good Hope Middle School and Cumberland Valley High School teams. I’ve written tests, mainly bio and chem events, for multiple invitationals, and am one of the Co-Tournament Directors for the SOAPS invitational. When I'm not working on Science Olympiad, I'm either looking at memes of opossums, or binge-watching Survivor with my family. I hope you enjoy this tournament!
