Hey guys! My name is Shabbir Jabalpurwala, I am an 8th grader at Kingsview Middle School, and I am serving as the MCJC President for the 2026-2027 school year. I am really excited to work as President this year, as I want to accomplish: enhancing student voices, host student panels, work and collaborate with other organizations, lead a strong MCJC, and initiate school visits. Some personal hobbies of mine are that I love to play soccer, play video games, and travel with my family. So excited to work with you all!

Leah Hong 

Hello everyone! I’m Leah Hong, a rising 8th grader at Kingview Middle School, and I’m so excited to be serving as your MCJC Treasurer for the 2026–2027 term! I first became interested in advocacy in 6th grade through my school’s SGA, thanks to a friend who encouraged me to get involved. That experience eventually led me to MCJC, and I’m grateful for all the opportunities it has given me to learn and grow. In my free time, I love playing the violin and dancing. I can’t wait to meet and work with all of you this year. Hope to see you soon! 

"Hi everyone! I'm Karina Wu, a 7th grader at Kingsview Middle School, and I'm honored to serve you as the MCJC Secretary for the 2026-2027 school year! My student leadership journey started in 5th grade when I joined my elementary school SGA. From there, I learned and grew as a leader and I currently participate in four county and statewide student leadership organizations. I'm also passionate about cello, piano, fencing, and art! I am so excited to work with all of you guys this year!
