Meet the Team
David G. Kim
Founder & President
Northern Valley Regional High School at Old Tappan '29
When I noticed my grandparents were taking expired medications, I began researching the broader risks of medication mismanagement. I came to realize that these risks extend far beyond individual health, impacting drug misuse and environmental safety. This inspired me to start SafeMed Squad, with a mission to protect our community and environment by raising awareness and promoting safe medication practices. Through our initiative, I hope to engage with people across our community, share important information, and help create positive change.
I enjoy developing apps, playing badminton and basketball, and competing in Olympic recurve archery.

As co-vice president I look forward to organizing impactful initiatives and build strong partnerships across our community!
I enjoy expressing myself through music, whether I’m playing my instrument or simply listening to my favorite songs. I also love running because it keeps me active, clears my mind, and gives me time to recharge. Music and movement are a big part of who I am.
I look forward to advancing our mission through interactive workshops, local drives, and outreach events. In the future, I aim to pursue a career in engineering or advertising. Outside of school and community work, I enjoy playing video games, hanging out with friends, and competing in pole vaulting during track season.
